助記提示
1. Old French haut => haught, Spelling altered by influence of caught, naught, etc.
2. alt- => h- + aut- => haut => haught.
3. with initial h- by influence of Frankish hoh "high". 由于hoh與high好像是同源的，因此這里直接簡單地說成取單詞high的首字母，前面的h-是受單詞high的影響，應(yīng)該是起一個同義加強的作用，就像我們漢語里面有很多詞、成語就是由兩個同義的詞疊加在一起，起一個同義加強的作用。還可能是出于特定的構(gòu)詞習(xí)慣等原因。
4. haught + -y => haughty, on model of might/mighty, naught/naughty, etc.
5. => "high in one's own estimation".
6. haught 諧音“鶴特”------鶴立雞群嘛，當(dāng)然特別高傲、傲慢啦！=> haughty.
7. 諧音“鶴踢、鶴啼”----鶴立雞群嘛，當(dāng)然想踢誰就踢誰，當(dāng)然要到處啼叫來炫耀了。

中文詞源
haughty 高傲的，傲慢的
來自法語haut,高的，高等級的，來自拉丁語altus,高的，詞源同altitude,exalt.插入字母h,字母l軟化在u，拼寫受height影響。由高的引申詞義高傲的，傲慢的。
英文詞源
- haughty
- haughty: [16] To be haughty is to be ‘a(chǎn)bove oneself’, or, to put it another way, to be ‘on one’s high horse’. For etymologically, haughty means simply ‘high’. It is an alteration of an earlier, now dead English adjective haught, which was borrowed from Old French haut ‘high’, a descendant of Latin altus (whence English altitude).
=> altitude - haughty (adj.)
- "proud and disdainful," 1520s, a redundant extension of haught (q.v.) "high in one's own estimation" by addition of -y (2) on model of might/mighty, naught/naughty, etc. Middle English also had hautif in this sense (mid-15c., from Old French hautif), and hautein "proud, haughty, arrogant; presumptuous" (c. 1300), from Old French hautain. Related: Haughtily.
