The word "panamerikanisme" is a relatively recent loanword in Norwegian Nynorsk, directly borrowed from international scientific vocabulary. Its pronunciation follows Norwegian phonological rules, adapting the sounds to the Nynorsk system. The 'pan-' prefix is pronounced similarly to English 'pan', while 'amerikanisme' follows the typical Nynorsk pronunciation of 'Amerika' and adds the '-isme' suffix.

3. Morphemic Analysis:

• Prefix: pan- (Greek, meaning "all" or "whole"). Morphological function: combines with the root to indicate universality.
• Root: amerikan- (derived from Amerika, ultimately from Amerigo Vespucci). Morphological function: denotes the geographical region.
• Suffix: -isme (French/Latin, -ismus). Morphological function: forms an abstract noun denoting a doctrine, movement, or ideology.
