Morphology
Japanazi + ideology
The headword 'ideology' transparently signals a collection of ideas, and 'Japanazi' appears to be a creative blend of 'Japan' + 'Nazi' so a learner who recognises both constituents can infer an extreme nationalist, militarist meaning. However, 'Japanazi' is a nonstandard coinage (not in the dictionary) and may not be parsed or recognised by an average B1 learner, making the overall expression only partially predictable.
Etymology
Japanazi ideology mixes Japan and Nazi to create a strong image: critics use the word to compare extreme Japanese nationalism with the violent, military ideas of the Nazis. That's why it is used to mean 'an extreme nationalist ideology' today.
