Morphology

idiom + neutral

The compound combines 'idiom' (language) + 'neutral' (impartial), so a B1 learner who knows both words can readily infer it refers to a neutral or impartial language. Although it is a proper name for a constructed language, the meaning is directly compositional and follows straightforward cross-linguistic logic.

Etymology

Idiom Neutral comes from the idea of a simple, neutral language that does not belong to any one country. People mixed common words from many languages into one easy set so everyone could understand each other, which is why it was made to help people from different countries talk.
