Etymology
Bumptiousness comes from the adjective bumptious, which most people think is linked to the common word bump, meaning 'to push'. A helpful way to remember it is to imagine someone who 'pushes' themselves forward in a rude, too-confident way, so bumptiousness means annoying or offensive self-confidence.
