Morphology
neologism = neo + log (semi-transparent) = neo + log + ism
Formed from classical combining forms neo- (new) + log- (word) + -ism to mean 'a new word', but the combining forms are somewhat technical and not fully transparent to average learners.
Etymology
Neologism comes from the Greek parts neo- meaning 'new' and logos meaning 'word', and the same logos appears in dialogue. So a neologism is a 'new word', which is why it means a newly made word or expression.
