Formed by adding the productive prefix 'neo-' to 'realist'; the morphological relation is regular.
Etymology
Neorealist as a creative work takes its name from neo- 'new' and real 'real life'. So a neorealist film or novel is made in a new style that tries to show true, everyday life and the problems people face.
