主义 is pronounced zhǔyì and means “doctrina”. You will meet it in HSK 6, a band of the Hanyu Shuiping Kaoshi — the standard test of Chinese proficiency. Most learners can pick 主义 out of a list long before they can reach for it unprompted, and the gap between those two closes only with repeated recall.
