Etymology
'American-style' is formed from the word 'American' and the suffix '-style', where 'style' means 'a manner or way of doing something'.
'American-style' was created in modern English by combining 'American' (from 'America') and 'style' (from Old French 'estile', from Latin 'stilus').
Initially, it simply meant 'in the style of America', and this meaning has remained consistent.
