As for example this Wikipedia article:
Hauntology (a portmanteau of haunting and ontology) is a neologism introduced by French philosopher Jacques Derrida in his 1993 book Spectres of Marx. The concept refers to the return or persistence of elements from the past, as in the manner of a ghost.
I feel quite comfortable citing Wikipedia here, since, afterwards, I STILL don't know what the word "hauntology" means.
