Puseyism|ˈpjuːzɪɪz(ə)m| [f. the name of Dr. E. B. Pusey, 1800–82, professor of Hebrew and Canon of Christ Church at Oxford + -ism.] A name given by opponents to the theological and ecclesiastical principles and doctrines of Dr. Pusey and those with whom he was associated in the ‘Oxford Movement’ for the revival of Catholic doctrine and observance in the Church of England which began about 1833; more formally and courteously called Tractarianism. Now little used. Dr. Pusey's initials were appended to No. 18 (21 Dec. 1833, on Fasting) of the Tracts for the Times, and, of the ninety, seven were written by him. His academic and ecclesiastical position gave great weight to his support of the movement, and specially associated his name with it.

It is only a conservative movement towards ancient doctrine—while Romanism has a principle, a life, an idea of its own. 1893Liddon, etc. Life Pusey II. 139 It was apparently during the year 1840 that the use of the word ‘Puseyism’ became widely popular.
