Angloid

/ˈæŋɡlɔɪd/ adjective

Definition

Resembling or having characteristics similar to English culture, language, or people; somewhat English.

Etymology

From 'Anglo-' plus -oid (meaning resembling or having the nature of), following the pattern of words like 'humanoid' or 'android.'

Kelly Says

The suffix '-oid' appears in 'paranoid' (resembling a paranoid person) and 'android' (resembling a human)—'angloid' means something is sort of English without being fully English!
