of condescension toward inferiors, since it expresses and desires others to feel how far below ourselves
we consider them. A person is haughty in disposition and demeanor; arrogant in his claims of homage
and deference; disdainful even in accepting the deference which his haughtiness leads him arrogantly
to exact.
