Xenophilia
Xenophily or xenophilia means an affection for unknown/foreign objects or people. It is the opposite of xenophobia or xenophoby. The word is a modern coinage from the Greek "xenos" () (stranger, unknown, foreign) and "philia" () (love, attraction), though the word itself is not found in classical Greek.〔Henry Liddell, Robert Scott, Henry Jones, and Roderick McKenzie. ''A Greek-English Lexicon.'' Oxford: Clarendon Press, 1996. pp. 1189, 1939.〕
==In biology==
In biology xenophily includes, for example, the acceptance by an insect of an introduced foreign plant closely related to the normal host. Xenophily is distinguished from xenophagy (or allotrophy), and is less common than xenophoby.〔Pierre Jolivet ''Insects and plants: parallel evolution and adaptations'' Page 33 - 1986 "(b) Examples of Xenophily. Conversely, xenophily is the acceptance by an insect of an introduced foreign plant closely related to the normal host. Xenophily, very different from xenophagy (allotrophy), is less common than xeno-phoby.〕 Early 20th century entomologists incorrectly concluded that the evolution of the glandular terminal disk was a function of xenophily, following its discovery in myrmecophilous larvae.〔''Tropical zoology'' Volume 14 - Page 169 Centro di studio per la faunistica ed ecologia tropicali (Italy), Consiglio nazionale delle ricerche (Italy). Centro di studio per la faunistica ed ecologia tropicali - 2001 "Earlier authors believed that the evolution of the glandular terminal disk was related to xenophily, probably because of its discovery in myrmecophilous larvae (Boving 1907; Brauns 1914; "〕
