\Haugh"ti*ness\, n. [For hauteinness. See
{Haughty}.]
The quality of being haughty; disdain; arrogance.
Syn: Arrogance; disdain; contemptuousness; superciliousness;
     loftiness.
Usage: {Haughtiness}, {Arrogance}, {Disdain}. Haughtiness
       denotes the expression of conscious and proud
       superiority; arrogance is a disposition to claim for
       one's self more than is justly due, and enforce it to
       the utmost; disdain in the exact reverse of
       condescension toward inferiors, since it expresses and
       desires others to feel how far below ourselves we
       consider them. A person is haughty in disposition and
       demeanor; arrogant in his claims of homage and
       deference; disdainful even in accepting the deference
       which his haughtiness leads him arrogantly to exact.
