Not exactly. Establishmentarianism refers to just being pro-establishment while Antidisestablishmentarianism refers to specifically being against anything that could be considered anti-establishment (basically the former can at least tolerate opposing viewpoints).

No. First off, it refers to a specific movement against disestablishing the CofE as the official religion of England. Second, no one seriously uses that term. third, you're a faggot and kys.

It refers to the disestablishment of the Church of Ireland, an Anglican Church, which happened in 1871. There was 18 months of controversy, but UK PM Gladstone was able to enact it. The Church of Ireland had until recent decades collected tithes from everyone and were a small often resented institution.
