近义词

助记提示

1. Old French haut => haught, Spelling altered by influence of caught, naught, etc.
2. alt- => h- + aut- => haut => haught.
3. with initial h- by influence of Frankish hoh "high". 由于hoh与high好像是同源的，因此这里直接简单地说成取单词high的首字母，前面的h-是受单词high的影响，应该是起一个同义加强的作用，就像我们汉语里面有很多词、成语就是由两个同义的词叠加在一起，起一个同义加强的作用。还可能是出于特定的构词习惯等原因。
4. haught + -y => haughty, on model of might/mighty, naught/naughty, etc.
5. => "high in one's own estimation".
6. haughty变y为i加-ness.
