Nicodemismn.

Brit.

/ˌnɪkəˈdiːmɪz(ə)m/, U.S.

/ˌnɪkəˈdiˌmɪz(ə)m/

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

Etymology: < the name of Nicodemus (see Nicodemite n.) + -ism suffix. Jung (see quot. 1953) attributes the term (as Middle French Nicodemisme ) to Calvin, although Calvin's Excuse, de Jehan Calvin, a Messieurs les Nicodemites (1544) only has the related terms Nicodeme , Nicodemiser (see Nicodemize v.), and Nicodemite (see Nicodemite n.).

Church History.

The practice and beliefs of Nicodemites; spec. the view held by certain 16th-cent. Protestants during the Counter-Reformation that outward conformity with the Catholic state was acceptable if one's true faith continued to be inwardly professed.

1953 E.-M. Jung in Jrnl. Hist. Ideas 14 519 The Protestant elements of Evangelism in their turn divided into two streams. One led to Nicodemism, which is a degeneration of Evangelism, of its principles of a purely internal, individual devotion.

1971 Amer. Hist. Rev. 76 1157/1 The spread of Nicodemism can be explained largely by the expectations for a rapid solution to religious differences aroused by the Colloquy of Regensburg and the calling of the Council of Trent.

1997 Church Times 14 Feb. 12/4 Evidence on Nicodemism can be as evasive as its practitioners intended.
