egotismn.

Brit.

/ˈiːɡətɪz(ə)m/,

/ˈɛɡətɪz(ə)m/, U.S.

/ˈiɡəˌtɪzəm/,

/ˈiɡoʊˌtɪzəm/

Etymology: < ego n. + -ism suffix, with intrusive t as in agiotage n.If the statement of Addison (quot. 1715 at sense 1) can be trusted, the word seems to have been invented by some of the Port-Royalists to range with the terms of rhetoric denoting ‘figures of speech’ and the like. (In accordance with this, Lord Chesterfield speaks of ‘the egotism’ as one might say ‘the aposiopesis’, ‘the chiasmus’.) It seems probable that egotism was formed on the pattern of some older word in -otism; compare for example French idiotisme.

1. The obtrusive or too frequent use of the pronoun of the first person singular: hence the practice of talking about oneself or one's doings.
