/ˈɑrktʃˈsnɑb/ noun

Definition

The most arrogant or supremely snobbish person; someone who is extremely conceited and thinks they're better than everyone else.

Etymology

Kelly Says

If someone is just a 'snob,' they're annoying, but an 'archsnob' is the stereotypical villain from a fancy period drama who treats servants terribly and only talks about their ancestors!
