Grandiose是源自法語、詞根為拉丁語"grandis"的英語形容詞,音標為英[ˈɡrændiəʊs]/美[ˈɡrændioʊs],包含“宏偉的”“浮誇的”雙重釋義。該詞兼具描述性與評價性,既可客觀指代建築、計畫等事物的宏大特徵(如“宏偉藍圖”),也可批判性地形容誇張或不切實際的表達方式(如“浮誇的演講”)。在心理學領域,其衍生術語“誇大妄想”(grandiose delusion)特指精神疾病中的自我膨脹症狀。
該詞自18世紀進入英語後,語義經歷了歷時演變。最初主要承載“宏大”的中性含義,19世紀後逐漸強化“過度誇張”的負面內涵,形成現代英語中正反語義並存的特性。詞源學顯示,其構詞融合了拉丁語"grandis"(大的)與法語後綴"-ose",反映出歐洲語言間的詞形借用關係。
