It is a single word right? Or does it use a hyphen?

Single worded
Meaning full of self importance.
Interesting word though - I challenge us all to find a way to insert it into our daily lives for the next week

One word, no hyphen. An adjective. The vainglorious general was overconfident and lost the battle.

Sparingly...but as one word.
Not a word in vogue these days. Trying to use it daily in normal talk would be a challenge. You could use it easy enough just by saying so and so is so vainglorious every day, but other folks would probably look at you funny and think you were very pretentious.

I've never seen this as a single word before, I was about to correct you on its use. I suppose its a little like bombastic.
My vainglorious brother spent ten minutes preening at the mirror!

It's spelled as you have it, to use it in a sentence 'Our vainglorious leader President Bush.'

Infrequently! It's one word, yes.
