Cambro- +‎ -philia

Noun[edit]

Cambrophilia (uncountable)

  1. (rare) The love of Wales or Welsh culture.
    • 2007, John Davies, A History of Wales:
      The portrayal had some substance, but there was little advantage for the king in vaunting his Welsh connections in London, where Cambrophilia was hardly rampant.
    • 2016, Willy Maley, Philip Schwyzer, Shakespeare and Wales: From the Marches to the Assembly:
      There were, of course, some contemporary English writers who declined to enter into the contemporary cult of Cambrophilia. There was nothing Welsh about Christopher Marlowe, nor anything Welsh in his plays []
