A person who is excessively devoted to French culture, fashion, or manners; an enthusiast of Gallic or French ways.
From 'Gallo-' (relating to Gaul or France) plus 'man.' This word refers to someone who loves French culture, emerging in English during periods of cultural exchange with France.
During the 18th and 19th centuries, being a 'galloman' was often mocked by English writers as the height of pretension—wanting to be more French than the French was literally the subject of satirical plays.
Compound of 'gallo-' (Gallic/French) + 'man'; uses masculine default to reference any person or enthusiast historically.
Use 'Francophile' or 'France enthusiast' instead; if person's gender unknown or mixed group, avoid gendered suffix.
