Etymology
Illiberalism comes from il- and liberal, where il- means 'not' and liberal means 'open' or 'free'. A helpful way to remember it is to think of someone who is 'not open' to new ideas and who shuts the door on other opinions. That's why illiberalism can mean an attitude of intolerance and refusing to accept different views.
