Highminded
Highminded
hmnd-ed: In modern usage denotes elevation of mind in a good sense, but formerly it was used to denote upliftedness in a bad sense, pride, arrogance. It is the translation of hupselophroneo, to be highminded, proud, haughty (Rom 11:20, Be not highminded, but fear; 1Ti 6:17, Charge them that are rich … that they be not highminded); of tuphoo to wrap in mist or smoke, trop., to wrap in conceit, to make proud, etc. (2Ti 3:4, Traitors, heady, highminded, the Revised Version (British and American) puffed up; compare 1Ti 3:6; 1Ti 6:4). No one can be highminded without thinking better of himself, and worse of others, than he ought to think (Crabb, English Synonyms).
