Europeism

The story

1. Ancient GreekΕὐρώπᾱ (Eurṓpā)
2. Ancient GreekΕὐρωπαῖος (Eurōpaîos)
3. LatinEuropae(us)
4. New LatinEurōpaeismus
5. English todayEuropeism

Borrowed from New Latin Eurōpaeismus, from Europae(us) (“European”) + -ismus (“-ism”), with both elements borrowed from Ancient Greek Εὐρωπαῖος (Eurōpaîos) and -ισμός (-ismós) respectively. The expected result in Latin, however, is *Eurōpaismus. Compare Greek ευρωπαϊσμός (evropaïsmós). Compare also Latin borrowings from Ancient Greek such as Iūdaismus (“Judaism”).
