A person who is excessively or obsessively fond of English culture, customs, or language to the point of mania.
From 'Anglo-' (English) plus 'mane' (from Greek 'mania' meaning obsession or madness). This word is related to 'anglomania' and suggests a stronger, almost pathological obsession than simply being an Anglophile.
The suffix '-mane' appears in words like 'pyromane' (fire obsession) and 'nymphomane,' which means the word anglomane actually describes something closer to an unhealthy obsession rather than simple appreciation—it's a judgment hidden in the word itself!
