A person who has an intense fear or hatred of Germany, German people, or German culture.
From German 'Germano-' (relating to Germany) + Greek 'phobos' (fear) + '-ist' (one who practices or believes). This compound emerged in English in the early 20th century, particularly during periods of political tension with Germany.
Germanophobist is a fascinating historical word that peaked in usage during World Wars I and II—it reveals how fear of other nations gets literally encoded into our language, and how such words often disappear when tensions fade, making them linguistic ghosts of their era.
