X is for Xenophilia
Dec 18, 2021
Xenophilia or xenophily is the love for, attraction to, or appreciation of foreign people, manners, customs, or cultures. It is the antonym of xenophobia or xenophoby. The word is a modern coinage from the Greek “xenos” (ξένος) (stranger, unknown, foreign) and “philia” (φιλία) (love, attraction), though the word itself is not found in classical Greek. ~ Wikipedia
