Definition
Opposed to or rejecting excessive self-interest, vanity, or the tendency to center everything around oneself.
Etymology
From anti- (against) + egotistical (self-centered), which combines ego (Latin for 'I') + -istical (adjective suffix). The concept reflects philosophical traditions emphasizing humility over self-aggrandizement, gaining popularity in 19th-century moral philosophy.
Kelly Says
Stoic philosophers would have loved this word—it captures the idea that the best people often work hard to be *less* about themselves, which paradoxically requires enormous self-awareness.
