Pride is an inwardly directed emotion that carries two common meanings. While some philosophers such as Aristotle consider pride a profound virtue, some world religions consider it a sin, such as is expressed in Proverbs 11:2 of the Old Testament. According to the Concise Oxford Dictionary, proud comes from late Old English prut, probably from Old French prud "brave, valiant" , from Late Latin term prodis "useful", which is compared with the Latin prodesse "be of use".
