عُبِّيَّةٌ ذ and عِبِّيَّةٌ, (S, O, K, TA,) [like أُبِّيَّةٌ and عُمِّيَّةٌ and عِمِّيَّةٌ, in the CK (erroneously) without the sheddeh to the ب,] also written غُِبِّيَّةٌ, with غ, (Abu-l-Hasan 'Alee Esh-Shádhilee,) Pride; haughtiness: (S, O, K:) and glorying. (K.) One says رَجُلٌ فِيهِ عُِبِّيَّةٌ A man in whom is pride, or haughtiness. (S, O.) And عُِبِّيَّةُ الجَاهِلِيَّةِ means The pride, or haughtiness, of the people of the Time of Ignorance. (S, O.) عُبِّيَّةٌ may be of the measure فُعْلِيَّةٌ or فُعُّولَةٌ: if the former, from عُبَابُ المَاآءِ, meaning “ the height of water: ” if the latter, [originally عُبُّويَةٌ,] from عَبَّاهُ, without ء, meaning “ he prepared it; ” because the proud is characterized by affectation and preparation. (O.)
