Etymology
Narcissistically comes from the Greek myth name Narcissus, a man who fell in love with his own 'reflection' in a pool. You can see the same root in the word narcissist and the flower narcissus, both named after him. So, to act narcissistically is like behaving as if you only love your own image—showing too much 'self-love' or thinking you are more important than others.
