Morphology

Judeo-Masonry = masonry (semi-transparent) = Judeo + masonry

Formally composed of 'Judeo-' + 'masonry' so the parts suggest 'Jewish' + 'Masonry', but the term commonly denotes a conspiratorial/political alliance rather than a literal occupational or architectural meaning.

Etymology

The word Judeo-Masonry joins Judeo- ('Jew') and masonry (from mason, a 'builder') to suggest a secret link between Jews and Freemasons. That's why the term names a conspiracy idea often used in anti-Jewish propaganda and widely shown to be false.
