B A N N E D ! ! ! 

for intentionally limiting the morphological possibilities of "Francophile" to mere two.
since

 

• "-Phile:" denoting fondness for a specified thing, from Greek philos — ‘loving’

and
 

• "Franco-:" 

1. French — e.g. francophone (a French-made telephone) | Franco-German (a French-made German);
2. from medieval Latin Francus — 'Frank;'

3. Relating to The Franks (vide below); <———

3. Relating to the Spanish general and dictator Francisco Franco, head of state between 1939 and 1975.

 

then it's clear that "Francophile" refers, in nearly all cases, to a special fondness to The Franks — a collection of Germanic peoples whose name was first mentioned in 3rd Century Roman sources and associated with tribes on the Lower and Middle Rhine, on the edge of the Roman Empire.
posteriorly the term became associated with later Romanized Germanic dynasties within the collapsing Roman Empire who eventually commanded the whole region between the rivers Loire and Rhine. they then imposed power over many other post-Roman kingdoms and Germanic peoples, and still later they were given recognition by the Catholic Church as successors to the old rulers of the Western Roman Empire.
