'England-style' originates from Modern English, combining the proper noun 'England' (from Old English 'Englaland') and the noun 'style' (from Latin 'stilus' via Old French 'estile'), where 'Englaland' meant 'land of the Angles' and 'stilus' meant 'a pointed instrument' (later extended to 'manner' or 'mode').

'England-style' developed by joining the place-name element 'England' (Old English 'Englaland') with the later-borrowed word 'style' (Latin 'stilus' → Old French 'estile' → Middle English 'stile/style'), eventually producing the compound modern English adjective 'England-style'.

Initially, the components referred to 'land of the Angles' (for 'England') and a 'pointed instrument' or 'manner' (for 'stilus'), but over time the compound evolved into the current meaning of 'in the style or manner of England'.
