    [Noun]  | "ego*tism" | \ ˈē-gə-ˌti-zəm \


    1: excessive use of the first person singular personal pronoun

    2: the practice of talking about oneself too much

    3: an exaggerated sense of self-importance : conceit


    Origin: 1714 ;

     Latin egō "I" + -t- (of uncertain origin) + {see: |-ism|-ism} {mat|I:1|I:1};

      * Note : The word egotism was apparently introduced by Joseph {addison|Addison:b} in no. 562 of The Spectator (July 2, 1714): "The Gentlemen of Port-Royal, who were more eminent for their Learning and their Humility than any other in France, banished the way of speaking in the First Person out of all their Works, as arising in Vain-Glory and Self-conceit. To shew their particular Aversion to it, they branded this Form of Writing with the Name of an Egotism: a Figure not to be found among the ancient Rhetoricians." "Port-Royal" alludes to the Jansenists, who numbered adherents in the religious communities of Port-Royal des Champs, near Versailles, and Port-Royal de Paris. Addison's statement implies that French égotisme precedes use of the English word, though there appears to be no evidence of this. The first incidence of the French word cited by the Trésor de la langue française is in a translation of The Spectator published in 1726. The formation with -t- as a hiatus-filling vowel is perhaps modeled on {idiotism:1|idiotism:1}.;
