According to the Concise Oxford Dictionary, proud comes from late [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=English#ca._600-1100.09THE_OLD_ENGLISH.2C_OR_ANGLO-SAXON_PERIOD Old English] ''prut'', probably from Old French ''prud'' "[[brave]], valiant" (11th century) (which became ''preux'' in French), from Late Latin term ''prodis'' "useful", which is compared with the Latin ''prodesse'' "be of use". The sense of "having a high [[opinion]] of oneself", not in French, may reflect the Anglo-Saxons' opinion of the Norman knights who called themselves "proud", like the French knights ''preux''.
