Etymology
The term 'gloat' originates from the Old English word 'glotan', which means 'to stare' or 'to look'. Over time, it evolved to mean an act of showing or feeling pleasure or self-satisfaction in one's own success or someone else's misfortune. The adverbial form 'gloatingly' emerged to describe the manner in which this feeling or action is expressed. It conveys a sense of overt or smug satisfaction, often accompanied by mockery or derision. The negative connotation of 'gloating' suggests that such pleasure is not only unkind but also emphasizes a lack of empathy for others' feelings.
