Morphology
neoclassicist = classicist (transparent) = neo + classicist
The formation is clearly 'neo-' (new) + 'classicist' (a supporter or practitioner of classical styles), so the relation is directly derivable.
Etymology
Neoclassicist breaks into neo- 'new', classic 'the old Greek and Roman style', and -ist 'a follower or a style'. So, as an adjective neoclassicist means a 'new classical' way of making art or buildings that returns to balance, order, and simple beauty.
