Have you ever met someone who is such a superegoist?

Yeah, I know exactly what you mean! They only think about themselves.

Root Explanation

Superegoist → It is formed from "super-" (meaning above or over) and "ego" (from Latin, meaning I or self) and the suffix "-ist" (meaning one who practices or is concerned with). The word describes someone who places their self or ego above others, often in a moral or ethical context.

Memory Tip

Think of someone who puts their 'self' ('ego') 'above' ('super-') others, which helps you remember that a superegoist is someone who prioritizes their own ego.
