Origin: From a proper name, combined with an English element. Etymons: proper name Amida , -ism suffix.

Etymology: < Amida, the name of a Buddha associated with the Pure Land (compare Pure Land n.) + -ism suffix.Amida is the name of a Buddha venerated in Mahayana Buddhism, especially in East Asia. The English form of the name is taken from Japanese Amida (8th cent.), which reflects a Middle Chinese transliteration of an Indic form, ultimately related to Sanskrit amitābha (adjective) having infinite light, also used as a semi-divine epithet < amita unmeasured, infinite ( < a- un- prefix¹ +mita , use as adjective of the past participle of mā- to measure: see meal n.²) + ābhā splendour, light (ultimately < bhā- to shine, be bright: see -phane comb. form).

1895 W. E. Griffis Relig. Japan ix. 276 Amidaism is utterly repudiated by many Japanese Buddhists, who give no place to his idol on their altars.

1977 K. Rexroth in Buddhist Writings L. Hearn Introd. p. xvii This doctrine [of the Four Noble Truths] is the essence of Buddhism... It is always there, underlying the most extreme forms of Tantrism or Amidism.

2004 D. B. Griffiths Buddhist Discursive Formations 46 (note) One could suggest that there is some functional resemblance between Amidism and Christian evangelical salvationism.
