Where it comes from

Inherited from Middle English orgulous, orgeilous, derived from Old French orgueilleus, orgoillus (“proud”), from orgoill, orgueil (“pride”), from Old Dutch *urgol (“pride”). Cognate with Old High German urguol (“excellent”), Old English orgol (“pride”). Perhaps from a Proto-West Germanic *uʀgōllju; compare Old English or- (“out”), *gōl (“boast; showiness; pomp; splendor”) (related to Old English galan (“to sing”), whence Modern English gale). Also, possibly, in part from Old French orgoill, derived from Vulgar Latin *orgōllia, *orgōlla, from Proto-West Germanic *orgōllja, from the same Proto-Germanic source. Cognate with Old High German urguol, urguoli, urgilo (“pride”), Italian orgoglio, Spanish orgullo, Portuguese orgulho, among many other Romance cognates.
