Anglophobe

/ˈæŋɡloʊfoʊb/ noun

Definition

A person who dislikes, fears, or opposes England, English culture, or English-speaking peoples.

Etymology

From Anglo- + -phobe (Greek 'phobos' meaning fear of). The word emerged in the 19th century as a counterpart to anglophile, though it's less commonly used.

Kelly Says

Anglophobe is rarely used today—we don't have a cultural word for hating English things like we do for loving them, which reveals that anti-English sentiment never became a named movement the way anglophilia did.
