haughty

Although there are different theories regarding its etymological origin, we can emphasize that arrogant is a word that derives from Latin. Specifically, it comes from "haute", which was the adjective given to the winds that blew from the sea to the land or vice versa. And that word, in turn, emanates from "altus", which is an adjective that was used to define everything that was high or deep.
