hubristic

== English == === Etymology === Learned borrowing from Ancient Greek ῠ̔βρῐστῐκός (hŭbrĭstĭkós, “given to wantonness, insolent, outrageous”) + English -ic (suffix forming adjectives with the sense ‘of or relating to’). Ῠ̔βρῐστῐκός (Hŭbrĭstĭkós) is derived from ὑβρίζω (hubrízō, “to be wanton, run riot; to affront, insult”) (from ῠ̔́βρις (hŭ́bris, “insolence; pride”) (possibly from Pre-Greek) + -ῐ́ζω (-ĭ́zō, suffix forming similative verbs)) + -τῐκός (-tĭkós, suffix forming adjectives). By surface analysis, hubris +‎ -tic (suffix forming adjectives). === Pronunciation === enPR: h(y)o͞o'-brĭsʹ-tĭk, (Received Pronunciation) IPA(key): /h(j)uːˈbɹɪstɪk/ (General American) IPA(key): /h(j)uˈbɹɪstɪk/ Rhymes: -ɪstɪk Hyphenation: hu‧bris‧tic === Adjective === hubristic (comparative more hubristic, superlative most hubristic) Of or relating to hubris (“excessive arrogance or pride, or presumption”); hence, overly arrogant or proud, or presumptuous, especially in a disdainful or rude manner.
