📖Word Origin
ルッキズム (lookism) is a blend of the English word 'look' (appearance) and the suffix '-ism' (indicating a system or ideology). It was borrowed into Japanese and combined with the verb phrase '被害者になる' (become a victim) to describe the state of suffering discrimination based on physical appearance.
