| hauteur \haw-TUR; (h)oh-\ (noun) - Haughty manner, spirit, or bearing; haughtiness; arrogance.
"My silence, I hoped, would be taken as expressive of the hauteur of a man who was above it all -- a man with a mission, in fact, a mission authorized from somewhere on high." -- Jeffrey Tayler, 'Facing the Congo'
Hauteur is from the French, from haut, "high," from Latin altus, "high." It is thus related to altitude. |
