Glossary entry (derived from question below)
Persian (Farsi) term or phrase:
gharbzade
English translation:
westoxicated
Persian (Farsi) term
gharbzade
This comes up in the Turkish book on Iran I am reading.
It ıs used of a Turkish leader - so does it mean 'in love wıth the West' or 'destroyed by the West' or what exactly?

westoxified
| neutral |
Edward Plaisance Jr
: I may be too much of a purist on this, but although "westoxified" may have developed some credibility, it is based on connecting two words "west" and "intoxify", of which "intoxify" does not really exist as a word in correct English usage
