Morphology

libertard + approach

The noun 'approach' is transparent, but the other constituent 'libertard' is a nonstandard, derogatory blend (libertarian + an offensive slur) rather than a regular lexical item. Because understanding the phrase’s negative, insulting sense requires recognizing and decomposing that slang blend—something a B1 learner who only knows the listed constituents is unlikely to do—the overall meaning is partially but not fully predictable.

Etymology

Libertard approach comes from mixing the word libertarian with a rude insult 'retard'. That's why people use libertard approach to call a libertarian policy 'foolish' or 'badly thought out'.
