Morphology

anglomaniac = maniac (transparent) = anglo + maniac

The meaning is directly composed from 'anglo' (English) + 'maniac' (someone with excessive enthusiasm), so the sense is immediately derivable.

Etymology

Anglomaniac comes from Anglo- ('England') and -maniac ('madness' or being very excited about something). So, to describe someone as anglomaniac means they show an excessive love or admiration for English or British people and culture.
