A remnant is in the work Xenophobe.

it is affection for people like yourself, just as Xenophobe is fear for people different.

I'm sorry, but that's just flat wrong.

The root word, xenoV, means "stranger" - nothing to do with love or affection in any form. You can have xenophobes, who hate strangers, or xenophiles, who love strangers . . . but that's just philo again.

You don't actually read Greek, do you?
