Etymology

The French noun **superbe** comes from the medieval French *superb*, which was borrowed from Latin *superbus* “proud, haughty”. *Superbus* is a compound of *super-* “above, over” and the adjective‑forming suffix *‑bus*, giving a sense of elevated or lofty quality. Over time the word evolved from an adjective to a noun (as in *le superbe*), retaining the notion of something or someone exceptionally grand or admirable.
