Word origin
The word 'pride' has its origins in the Old English term 'prศณda', meaning 'proud.' It has evolved over time to encompass both a feeling of satisfaction or pleasure in one's achievements and a group of lions. The concept of pride as a positive emotion has been explored in various philosophical and psychological contexts. In the animal kingdom, pride refers to a social unit of lions led by a dominant male. The word has rich historical and cultural associations, symbolizing both personal accomplishment and collective strength.
