Antiegoistic

/ˌæntiˌɛɡoʊˈɪstɪk/ adjective

Definition

Opposed to egoism; showing concern for others' interests rather than selfish interests.

Etymology

From antiegoist + -ic (adjective-forming suffix). The -ic ending transforms the noun into an adjective describing qualities, beliefs, or behaviors.

Kelly Says

Antiegoistic behavior—giving without expecting return, helping strangers—appears in every human culture, suggesting it's not just philosophy but hardwired into our social nature.
