Word to the Wise: Hauteur

“Hauteur” (haw-TUR) – from the French – is arrogance.

Example (as used by Hugo Young in The Guardian): “Sheikhs and presidents have often heard little about the [British] royal family’s follies, and don’t object to the hauteur and self-importance that remain its inextinguishable traits.”
