Abstract
The prefix (or combining form) neo- is generally treated as a revival of Ancient Greek néos 'new'. In the present article it is argued that in reality most uses of neo- in the modern languages have not been taken from ancient Greek directly, but from Neo-Latin. European languages are shown to differ considerably with respect to the number of neo-Latin patterns which they have integrated.
