pride

Pride comes from Middle English pryde or pride, from Old English prȳde or prȳte, meaning 'pride,' which was formed directly from the Old English adjective prūd, 'proud.' Old Norse prýði, meaning 'bravery, pomp,' is a related word in a sister language.

The word has stayed close to its root the whole way: it began as the noun form of 'proud' in Old English, and Middle English kept both the spelling and the meaning largely intact into modern use.

Pride is directly tied to proud — the noun was built from the adjective, so the two have shared the same core meaning since Old English.
