Overweening:
- presumptuously conceited, overconfident, or proud:
a brash, insolent, overweening fellow.- exaggerated, excessive, or arrogant:
overweening prejudice; overweening pride. [Dictionary.com]
I used it here yesterday. Interestingly enough, there’s actually ‘weening‘:
verb (used with or without object) Archaic.
- to think; suppose.
- to expect, hope, or intend.
I wish they’d shown how to use it in a sentence. Dictionary.com admits to no underweening.
