an inflated feeling of pride in your superiority to others

Answer 2

The id, ego, and super-ego are the divisions of the psyche according to psychoanalyst Sigmund Freud's "structural theory". In 1923, Freud introduced new terms to describe the division between the conscious and unconscious: 'id,' 'ego,' and 'super-ego.' He thought these terms offered a more compelling description of the dynamic relations between the conscious and the unconscious. The “id” (fully unconscious) contains the drives and those things repressed by consciousness; the “ego” (mostly conscious) deals with external reality; and the “super ego” (partly conscious) is the conscience or the internal moral judge

Answer 3

Ego is Greek for "I"
(Id is Latin for "it.")

Freud used the terms to describe parts of the psyche (Greek for "mind." Also, a chick in mythology who slept with Eros/Cupid.)

Ego is the usual part of the psyche, the part most like the way you usually think. "Super-ego" (Greek for "above the ego") is the judgmental part of the psyche that acts as an inflated sense of conscience. Not like, conscious of stuff, I mean, conscience like, "don't do that, it's bad," kinda conscience. Angels and devils on the shoulders. Id is the instinct, the animalistic, non-thinking part of the psyche.
