Anglophobiac

/ˌæŋɡloʊˈfoʊbiæk/ noun

Definition

A person who has or is affected by anglophobia; someone with pathological dislike or fear of English culture.

Etymology

From anglophobia + -ac (suffix indicating someone affected by a condition). This rare variant parallels anglophiliac on the opposite end of the spectrum.

Kelly Says

Like its counterpart anglophiliac, this word is virtually extinct—it shows that language only pathologizes attitudes that go 'too far,' and apparently, you can't be too anti-English to need clinical naming.
