Surface Forms

pridefulness singular

Morphology

pridefulness = prideful (transparent) = pride + ful + ness

Formed by adding the noun-forming suffix '-ness' to the adjective 'prideful', which itself is transparently pride + -ful.

Etymology

Pridefulness begins with pride, which means 'a high opinion of yourself', and the endings -ful and -ness make it the name of that state. A helpful image is a peacock showing its feathers, so pridefulness means having too much pride or being overly proud.
