'anglophilism' originates from English, specifically from the combination of 'Anglo-' meaning 'English' and '-philism' from Greek 'philos' meaning 'loving.'

'anglophilism' was formed in the 19th century as a noun based on 'anglophile' and the suffix '-ism,' and eventually became the modern English word 'anglophilism.'

Initially, it meant 'love or admiration for England or English things,' and this meaning has remained the same in modern usage.
