Neo-logism

"In the book-review media and weeklies of opinion, at the beginning of the Fifties, it was the fad to refer to these writers as 'New Conservatives' or 'Neo-Conservatives'-the prefix 'neo' usually implying the contempt of the commentator. Recently, at the end of the Seventies, the epithet 'Neo-Conservative' has been clapped to yet another set of writers and scholars." --Russell Kirk
