1. Old French haut => haught, Spelling altered by influence of caught, naught, etc.
2. alt- => h- + aut- => haut => haught.
3. with initial h- by influence of Frankish hoh "high". 由于hoh与high好像是同源的，因此这里直接简单地说成取单词high的首字母，前面的h-是受单词high的影响，应该是起一个同义加强的作用，就像我们汉语里面有很多词、成语就是由两个同义的词叠加在一起，起一个同义加强的作用。还可能是出于特定的构词习惯等原因。
4. haught + -y => haughty, on model of might/mighty, naught/naughty, etc.
5. => "high in one's own estimation".
6. haught 谐音“鹤特”------鹤立鸡群嘛，当然特别高傲、傲慢啦！=> haughty.
7. 谐音“鹤踢、鹤啼”----鹤立鸡群嘛，当然想踢谁就踢谁，当然要到处啼叫来炫耀了。

英语词源
- haughty
-
haughty: [16] To be haughty is to be ‘above oneself’, or, to put it another way, to be ‘on one’s high horse’. For etymologically, haughty means simply ‘high’. It is an alteration of an earlier, now dead English adjective haught, which was borrowed from Old French haut ‘high’, a descendant of Latin altus (whence English altitude).
=> altitude - haughty (adj.)
- "proud and disdainful," 1520s, a redundant extension of haught (q.v.) "high in one's own estimation" by addition of -y (2) on model of might/mighty, naught/naughty, etc. Middle English also had hautif in this sense (mid-15c., from Old French hautif), and hautein "proud, haughty, arrogant; presumptuous" (c. 1300), from Old French hautain. Related: Haughtily.
