matriotism

The story

Blend of alma mater + patriotism, later reanalyzed as being derived from matri- by analogy with patriotism. Though attested since the mid-19th century, the continued placement of the word within quotation marks suggests it is often regarded as a neologism.

First known use, by meaning

• from 19th c. School, hometown, or parish pride or loyalty, as opposed to nationalism or patriotism.
