Etymology of ANGLICISE

The word "anglicise" originated in the late 18th century and is derived from the noun "Anglic", which means English or Englishman. The noun "Anglic" itself is derived from the Old English word "Englisc" or "Englisċ", which referred to the people of England or their language.
