"-Ism" is not a prefix but a suffix, a group of letters added to the end of a word in order to form another word. The prefix "-ism" may connote an action or practice (as in criticism), an attitude or outlook (as racism), a theory or doctrine (as Platonism, Puritanism, militarism), or a peculiar characteristic or trait (as colloquialism or Hebraism).
