class="word__defination--2q7ZH"><p>late Old English <span class="foreign notranslate">prud</span>, <span class="foreign notranslate">prute</span> "excellent, splendid; arrogant, haughty, having or cherishing a high opinion of one's own merits; guilty of the sin of Pride," from Old French <span class="foreign notranslate">prud</span>, oblique case of adjective <span class="foreign notranslate">prouz</span> "brave, valiant" (11c., Modern French <span class="foreign notranslate">preux</span>; compare <span class="foreign notranslate">prud'homme</span> "brave man"), from Late Latin <span class="foreign notranslate">prode</span> "advantageous, profitable" (source also of Italian <span class="foreign notranslate">prode</span> "valiant"), a back-formation from Latin <span class="foreign notranslate">prodesse</span> "be useful."</p> <p>This is a compound of <span class="foreign notranslate">pro-</span> "before, for, instead of" (from PIE root <a href="/word/*per-#etymonline_v_52721" title="Etymology, meaning and definition of *per- " rel="nofollow" class="crossreference notranslate">*per-</a> (1) "forward," hence "in front of, before, first, chief") + <span class="foreign notranslate">esse</span> "to be" (from PIE root <a href="/word/*es-" title="Etymology, meaning and definition of *es- " rel="nofollow" class="crossreference notranslate">*es-</a> "to be"). Also see <a href="/word/pride#etymonline_v_19496" title="Etymology, meaning and definition of pride " class="crossreference notranslate">pride</a> (n.), <a href="/word/prowess" title="Etymology, meaning and definition of prowess " class="crossreference notranslate">prowess</a>. "The <span class="foreign notranslate">-d-</span> in <span class="foreign notranslate">prodesse</span> is probably due to the influence of forms like <span class="foreign notranslate">red-eo-</span>, 'I go back,' <span class="foreign notranslate">red-imo-</span> 'I buy back,' etc." [OED]. The Old English form with <span class="foreign notranslate">-te</span> probably is from or influenced by <span class="foreign notranslate">pride</span> (Old English <span class="foreign notranslate">pryto</span>).</p> <p>Meaning "elated by some act, fact, or thing" is from mid-13c. The sense of "of fearless or untamable spirit" is by c. 1400; that of "ostentatious, grand, giving reason for pride" is by mid-14c. To <span class="foreign notranslate"><strong>do (someone) proud</strong></span> is attested by 1819. The surname <span class="foreign notranslate"><strong>Proudfoot</strong></span> is attested from c. 1200 (<span class="foreign notranslate">Prudfot</span>). A Middle English term for "drunk and belligerent" was <span class="foreign notranslate">pitcher-proud</span> (early 15c.).</p> <p>The sense of "having a high opinion of oneself," not found in Old French, might reflect the Anglo-Saxons' opinion of the Norman knights who called themselves "<span class="foreign notranslate">proud</span>." Old Norse <span class="foreign notranslate">pruðr</span>, either from the same French source or borrowed from Old English, had only the sense "brave, gallant, magnificent, stately" (compare Icelandic <span class="foreign notranslate">pruður</span>, Middle Swedish <span class="foreign notranslate">prudh</span>, Middle Danish <span class="foreign notranslate">prud</span>).</p> <p>Likewise a group of "pride" words in the Romance languages — such as French <span class="foreign notranslate">orgueil</span>, Italian <span class="foreign notranslate">orgoglio</span>, Spanish <span class="foreign notranslate">orgullo</span> — are borrowings from Germanic, where they had positive senses (Old High German <span class="foreign notranslate">urgol</span> "distinguished").</p> <p>Most Indo-European languages use the same word for "proud" in its good and bad senses, but in many the bad sense seems to be the earlier one. The usual way to form the word is by some compound of terms for "over" or "high" and words for "heart," "mood," "thought," or "appearance;" such as Greek <span class="foreign notranslate">hyperephanos</span>, literally "over-appearing;" Gothic <span class="foreign notranslate">hauhþuhts</span>, literally "high-conscience." Old English had <span class="foreign notranslate">ofermodig</span> "over-moody" ("mood" in Anglo-Saxon was a much more potent word than presently) and <span class="foreign notranslate">heahheort</span> "high-heart."</p> <p>Words for "proud" in other Indo-European languages sometimes reflect a physical sense of being swollen or puffed up; such as Welsh <span class="foreign notranslate">balch</span>, probably from a root meaning "to swell," and Modern Greek <span class="foreign notranslate">kamari</span>, from ancient Greek <span class="foreign notranslate">kamarou</span> "furnish with a vault or arched cover," with a sense evolution via "make an arch," to "puff out the chest," to "be puffed up" (compare English slang <a href="/word/chesty" title="Etymology, meaning and definition of chesty " class="crossreference notranslate">chesty</a>).</p></section><div class="word__firstRecorded--3lZB8">also from<!-- --> <a rel="nofollow" class="word__firstRecorded_time--28qNE" href="/search?sort=a&q=from:11c.">11c.</a></div></div></div></div><div class="word--C9UPa"><div><div class="" style="position:relative"><div id="etymonline_v_54921" style="position:absolute;top:-100px"></div><p title="Origin and meaning of proud" class="word__name--TTbAA">proud<!-- --> <!-- -->(n.)</p><section class="word__defination--2q7ZH"><p>"proud or haughty person or persons," late Old English, from <a href="/word/proud#etymonline_v_2745" title="Etymology, meaning and definition of proud " class="crossreference notranslate">proud</a> (adj.).</p></section><span></span></div></div></div><div class="word--C9UPa"><div><div class="" style="position:relative"><div id="etymonline_v_54922" style="position:absolute;top:-100px"></div><p title="Origin and meaning of proud" class="word__name--TTbAA">proud<!-- --> <!-- -->(adv.)</p><section class="word__defination--2q7ZH"><p>early 14c., "proudly, haughtily," from <a href="/word/proud#etymonline_v_2745" title="Etymology, meaning and definition of proud " class="crossreference notranslate">proud</a> (adj.).</p></section><div class="word__firstRecorded--3lZB8">also from<!-- --> <a rel="nofollow" class="word__firstRecorded_time--28qNE" href="/search?sort=a&q=from:early%2014c.">early 14c.</a></div></div></div></div><div class="related--32LCi"><h3 class="h3_title" title="words related to proud">Entries linking to <i>proud</i></h3><div class="related__details--2kumU"><div class="word--C9UPa word_4pc--2SZw8"><div><a class="word__name--TTbAA word_thumbnail__name--1khEg" style="margin-bottom:5px;display:block" title="Origin and meaning of chesty" href="/word/chesty#etymonline_v_47100">chesty<!-- --> <!-- -->(adj.)<span class="word_thumbnail__name_icon--2RFFN"><i class="fa fa-chevron-right" style="font-size:16px"></i></span></a><div class="word__etymology_expand--1s7tE"><section class="word__defination--2q7ZH undefined"><div></div><p>"aggressively self-assured," 1898, American English slang, from <a href="/word/chest#etymonline_v_11234" title="Etymology, meaning and definition of chest " class="crossreference notranslate">chest</a> (n.) in the body sense + <a href="/word/-y#etymonline_v_25631" title="Etymology, meaning and definition of -y " class="crossreference notranslate">-y</a> (2).
