Definition
Excessively self-centered or self-important, believing you are better than everyone else.
Etymology
From 'ego' (Latin for 'I') plus '-tistical' suffix. Developed in the 1700s from French 'egoïsme' as people began analyzing self-centered behavior philosophically.
Kelly Says
Interestingly, 'ego' isn't always negative in psychology—Freud's 'ego' is the healthy, rational part of your mind, but 'egotistical' took the Latin word and twisted it into pure selfishness!
