Morphology

neocohen + movement

The modifying element 'neocohen' is not a recognized lexical item and appears to be a proper name or a coined term, so a B1 learner who only knows the word 'movement' cannot infer the specific ideology or referent. Even if one recognizes the prefix 'neo-' as 'new', understanding requires knowledge of who/what 'Cohen' denotes, making the phrase non-compositional for typical learners.

Etymology

Neocohen movement may come from combining neo, meaning 'new', with the name Cohen, a community leader who began small kitchen-table councils where neighbors made decisions together. This picture of many small local meetings explains why the term now means 'sharing power' and 'local control'.
