Word Origin & Etymology

Formed in the late 14th century from the noun 'conceit' (originally meaning an idea or mental conception, from Anglo-French 'conceite' and Latin 'concipere') plus the suffix '-ed'; the sense shifted from being full of clever ideas to having an excessively favorable opinion of oneself.
