angloid
|ang-loid|
/ˈæŋɡlɔɪd/
resembling English or Anglo-Saxon
Etymology
'angloid' originates from English, specifically the combination of 'Anglo-' (referring to English or Anglo-Saxon) and the suffix '-oid' (meaning 'resembling' or 'like').
'Anglo-' and '-oid' were combined in English to form the word 'angloid', which came to mean 'resembling an Anglo-Saxon or English person or culture'.
Initially, it meant 'resembling an Anglo-Saxon or English person', and this meaning has largely remained the same in modern usage.
