Morphology
neoromanticism = romanticism (semi-transparent) = neo + romantic + ism
The formation is logically 'neo-' (new/revival) + 'romanticism', but 'neo-' is a learned combining form and may not be obvious to all learners.
Etymology
Neoromanticism joins neo- 'new' and romanticism, the movement from the 1800s that loved strong feeling, imagination, and nature, the same root you see in romantic or romance. So neoromanticism means a 'new' return to those emotional, imaginative ideas.
