Definition proud
Etymology
From Middle English proud, prout, prut, from Old English pr?d, pr?t (“proud, arrogant, haughty”) (compare Old English pr?tung (“pride”); pr?de, pr?te (“pride”)). Cognate with German Low German praud, Old Norse prúðr (“gallant, brave, magnificent, stately, handsome, fine”) (Icelandic prúður, Middle Swedish prudh, Danish prud), probably from Old French prod, prud (“brave, gallant”) (French preux), from an assumed Late Latin *pr?dis, related to Latin pr?desse (“to be of value”); however, the Old English umlaut derivatives pr?te, pr?tian, etc. suggest the word may be older and possibly native. See also pride.
