Hubris

Hubris

/ˈ(h)yo͞obrəs/

adjective

Arrogant self-confidence that exceeds rational limits.

Hubris is interesting, because you get people who are often very clever, very powerful, have achieved great things, and then something goes wrong – they just don’t know when to stop.

– Margaret Macmillan (1943-)
