glorioso

/ɡloˈɾjoso/ · B2 · adj

glorious, proud

🏆 gloria + -oso (full of) = glorious; Spanish -oso matches English -ous

From Latin gloriosus, from gloria (glory). The ending -oso means full of, like English -ous: famoso = famous, glorioso = glorious. It can also mean proud or boastful, like someone too full of their own glory.
