From pseudo- + Anglicism.
Meanings
-
A word in a language other than English that has an English appearance but does not exist in English itself.
But does it matter if these so-called English words don’t exist in English at all? Baer doesn’t believe so. “I don’t think most people actually realise which are pseudo-anglicisms and which are real anglicisms,” he says.
