pride, haughtiness – WehrCowan1976
conc
▪ Coined on the rather rare FiʕLiyāʔᵘ pattern, perh. in analogy to the almost synonymous and similarly sounding ↗kibriyāʔᵘ ‘grandeur, glory, magnificence, majesty; pride, haughtiness, presumption, arrogance’. According to Lane ii 1865, in its essence, the noun signifies the ‘(quality denoted by the epithet ↗ǧabbār, i.e.) self-magnification, pride, haughtiness, insolence […]’, and is thus dependent on ↗¹ǧabr ‘strength, power; †man’, from protSem *gbr ‘to be strong’, protCSem *gabr- ‘man’ (Kogan2011), ‘homme fait, dans toute sa force’ (DRS).
▪ Given the many synonyms, listed below (section HIST), that are coined on similarly rare “un-Arabic” patterns, esp. those in -iyyāʔᵘ, -uwwaẗ, -ūt, -aʔūt, -ūtà, as well as the taFʕāL pattern, it seems safe to assume that these items are borrowings, prob. from Aram.
