This thesis provides a linguistic and paremiological analysis of the English word "pride." It begins by tracing the word's etymology to Anglo- Saxon and French roots, suggesting initial meanings related to valor and nobility. The core of the article examines the representation of "pride" within English and Uzbek proverbs, drawing on several major collections. It highlights the relative scarcity of proverbs featuring this lexeme. The article concludes by noting that even in collections with more examples, the proverbs often focus on the negative social consequences and characteristics of proud individuals, reinforcing a predominantly cautionary and critical cultural perspective on pride within English and Uzbek paremiology. Key words: emotion, pride, self-esteem, arrogance, paremias, paremiology, proverbial statement, g`urur, obro`, manmanlik The English word pride comes from the Anglo-Saxon pryte, prut, which means “proud, valiant, notable” and it also has French roots meaning “noble in origin”, “noble” 1. In the 18th-century Johnson’ Dictionary (1836), the first edition dating back to the second half of the 18th century; no significance close to the etymology of the pride lexeme is not given. On the contrary, the dictionary entry clarifies the noun pride as “inordinate self-esteem”, as well as “haughtiness, insolent arrogance”. The meaning of the verb “to pride” is illustrated in the following way: “to rate himself high”2. In modern English dictionaries several meanings of the word pride are usually indicated: 1) feeling of satisfaction arising from what one has done, or from persons, things, etc one is concerned with: look with pride at one's garden3; the trait of being spurred on by a dislike of falling below your standards ; 2) self-respect; knowledge of one's worth and character: He has no pride.

In L. Vasilyeva's collection Brevity is the soul of wit 1410 English Proverbs, sayings and winged expressions are presented, of which only two examples are related to the word of “pride”: Pride that dines on vanity sups on contempt and the mentioned proverb “Pride goes before a fall”7. In the Oxford Dictionary of Proverbs of more than 1100 English Proverbs, only 7 examples can be attributed to this: 1) Pride goes before destruction (Pride goes before a fall); 2) Pride feels no pain; 3) Pride goes before and shame follows after; 4) The highest tree has the greatest fall; 5) Where MacGregor sits is the head of the table; 6)Up like a rocket, down like a stick; 7)Set a beggar on horseback and he’ll ride to the Devil. Let us dwell on their brief interpretation. The proverb “Pride goes before a fall” is a version of the biblical adage “Pride goes before destruction, and haughty spirit before a fall”8 . From the point of view of Christian ethics, “pride” is the first of mortal sins and is certainly condemned. Perception of pride, as behavior inevitably leading to defeat, fall. Proverbs 1), 3), 4) and 6) according to our systematization, can be considered close in value.

The semantics of the proverb Pride feels no pain is revealed in the following examples: Pride finds no cold.
