Borrowed from German Ordoliberalismus (coined in 1950 by the German economist Hero Moeller (1892–1974)), from ORDO (the name of a journal, the full title of which is ORDO — Jahrbuch für die Ordnung von Wirtschaft und Gesellschaft (ORDO – Yearbook of Economic and Social Order) + Liberalismus (“liberalism”). ORDO is derived from Latin ōrdō (“methodical arrangement, order, or series”), probably ultimately from Proto-Indo-European *h₂er- (“to fit, put together; to fix”); while Liberalismus is from French libéralisme (ultimately from Latin līber (“free, independent, unchecked, unrestricted”), from Proto-Indo-European *h₁lewdʰ- (“to grow; people”)) + -ismus (“suffix forming the names of schools of thought, systems, or theories”).
