Grandeeism

/ɡrænˈdiːɪzəm/ noun

Definition

The attitudes, behaviors, or system associated with grandees; the conduct or characteristics of a person of high rank.

Etymology

From 'grandee' + '-ism' (suffix forming nouns of doctrine, practice, or condition). A rare technical term, likely appearing in academic discussions of nobility or Spanish history.

Kelly Says

This word barely exists in English, but if it did, it would describe the snobbish, powerful attitudes of high-ranking nobles—language sometimes creates words for concepts that don't actually need common words.
