Having excessive pride or vanity; feeling superior to others or too much self-regard.
From 'pride' (from Old English 'pryd,' originally meaning 'self-esteem') combined with the suffix '-ful' (full of). The negative sense of excessive pride developed from Christian theology.
Pride is the only sin that appears in almost every religious and moral tradition as uniquely dangerous—because pride blinds you to your own flaws, making it arguably the most self-defeating emotion humans experience.
