Morphology
neoliberal = liberal (semi-transparent) = neo + liberal
Formally 'neo-' + 'liberal' is clear, but the term refers to a specialized political-economic ideology that may not be fully inferable by all learners.
Etymology
Neoliberal comes from neo- ('new') and liberal (from a word meaning 'free', like in 'liberty'). So neoliberal describes a 'new' kind of liberal idea that favors free markets, less regulation, and smaller government.
