American +‎ -ism

Noun

Americanism (countable and uncountable; plural Americanisms)

1. A custom peculiar to the United States or the Americans.
2. A word, phrase or linguistic feature originating from or specific to American language usage.

   However, the -ize spelling is now rarely used in the UK in the mass media and newspapers, and is hence often incorrectly regarded as an Americanism.

3. A preference to the United States and the ideas it represents.
