ceremonialism

/sɛɹɪˈməʊnɪəlɪzəm/ noun

A fondness for ceremony, especially in religion; ritualism.

Word Origin From Latin 'caerimonia' meaning sacred rites. The breakdown ceremoni+al+ism shows the root, the adjective suffix -al, and the noun suffix -ism, so it's literally 'the practice of being ceremonial.' The same root gives us ceremony, ceremonial, and ceremonious. The word captures the idea of an excessive devotion to formal rituals.
