Morphology
neoliberalism = neoliberal (semi-transparent) = neo + liberal + ism
Formation from 'neoliberal' + '-ism' is clear, but the precise political-economic meaning requires historical and ideological knowledge beyond simple composition.
Etymology
Neoliberalism comes from neo- meaning 'new' and liberalism meaning a belief in 'freedom' (think of the familiar word liberty). So, neoliberalism is a 'new' kind of liberal idea that favors more freedom for markets and less government control.
