Anglican
UK: ˈaŋɡlɪkən | US: ˈæŋɡlɪkən
adj. relating to the Church of England or its doctrines
n. a member of the Church of England
Derived from Medieval Latin Anglicanus, meaning "English," which itself comes from Anglicus (pertaining to the Angles, a Germanic tribe that settled in England). The suffix -an denotes association or belonging. The term evolved to specifically describe the Church of England after its separation from the Roman Catholic Church in the 16th century. The morphemes reflect a clear link between national identity (Angles/England) and religious affiliation.
