Etymology

The word 'proud' originates from the Old English term 'prลซde,' which itself is derived from Old French 'prou' meaning brave, valiant. The usage of 'proud' dates back to the 14th century, where it referred to a sense of honor and dignity. Over time, the meaning evolved, encompassing feelings of satisfaction and pleasure derived from achievements. The comparative form 'prouder' likely emerged in the 15th century as English speakers sought to express varying degrees of pride. The use of 'proud' has significantly intertwined with social and cultural contexts, where pride can be both a personal and collective emotion, influencing family dynamics, community bonds, and even national identities. Thus, 'prouder' also reflects a deeper connection to one's roots, accomplishments, and affiliations.
