Morphology
welfariat + movement
The novel token 'welfariat' is not a recognized dictionary word and appears to be a neologistic blend (e.g., welfare + -ariat) rather than a regular compositional item, so its meaning is not reliably derivable by a B1 learner even if they know 'movement'. Because one constituent is unknown and the formation/political nuance is language‑specific and unpredictable, the overall MWE is not transparently interpretable.
Etymology
The name welfariat movement may come from mixing the word welfare, meaning help from the state, with proletariat, an old word for working people, creating a clear image of people on welfare acting together. So the phrase now means a social movement that fights for 'welfare' policies and the rights of people who receive benefits.
