Morphology
xenophobe = xeno + phobe
The meaning is partly recoverable from the learned combining forms xeno- and phobe, but it is somewhat specialized and not fully transparent for average learners.
Etymology
The word xenophobe comes from Greek parts xeno- meaning 'stranger' or 'foreign' and -phobe like in phobia meaning 'fear'. So, a xenophobe is someone who 'fears' or dislikes people from other countries.
