Etymology
'anglomane' originates from French, specifically the word 'anglomane,' where 'anglo-' meant 'English' and '-mane' meant 'madness' or 'mania.'
'anglomane' was borrowed directly from French into English in the 18th century, and eventually became the modern English word 'anglomane.'
Initially, it meant 'one who is mad about English things,' and over time it evolved into its current meaning of 'a person who greatly admires England or English things.'
