Simply stated the base word is "Establishmentarian". This word is defined as something that is decided (in the context of The United Kingdom's Parliamentary Laws) and is recorded as the standard rule of law.

Antidisestablishmentarianism generally refers to a body of several laws regarding The Anglican Church in member countries notably Ireland, Scotland and Wales. I will cite the wikipaedia article on this at the end.

Thus regarding Establishmentarian Law, in this context "Establishmentarian" is the base word.

Further reduction does not seem necessary in the proscription of this question, in that it is germaine to the reform of laws regarding the influential separation of Anglican Church authorities and U. K. Parliamentary authority.

That said: Establish is a verb which means "to decide on an arbitrary element of usage regarding the behavior or deportment of a matter of course. Example: "Nine o'clock to five o'clock has been established as a standard work day." You can see that this root has little bearing on the subject, in that many things are established that are not related to major political decisions.

Thus:

The base word is "disestablishmentarianism" in that this is a unique word regarding an act of dissolving the established bond of a State Church and the Country in which it was originally formed.
