Etymology: PIE word
 *h₁óh₃s
Learned borrowing from Latin ōre rotundō (“with a round mouth; hence, clear; loud”), from ōre (the ablative singular of ōs (“mouth”), ultimately from Proto-Indo-European *h₁óh₃s (“mouth”)) + rotundō (“to make round”) (from rotundus (“circular, round”) (possibly from rota (“wheel”) (ultimately from Proto-Indo-European *Hreth₂- (“to run”)) + -undus (suffix forming adjectives)) + -ō (suffix forming first-conjugation verbs)). Doublet of orotund.
Senses: examples: text: Only when we hear the English language spoken ore rotundo — and it is an exceedingly rare experience, and fated to be ever rarer as our life grows more rapid — by some master of the art of elocution and that is a fine art truly — can one be sensible of the richness and sweetness of its tones, the gravity and majesty with which it can invest noble and solemn themes, or its graceful themes, or its graceful unbending in the Lydian mode.
ref: 1901, Joseph Fitzgerald, Word and Phrase, A.C. McClurg & Company, page 371:
text: Did I not dispute a whole afternoon with another young man about the necessity for character, only to learn at the end of it that he didn't know what character was. He supposed it was 'something narrow and priggish—like what deacons used to be'. And he, mind you, was in his twenties, and claimed, ore rotundo, to be a Whitmanite, a Shavian, and a socialist.

culte du moi
Language: English
Part of speech: noun
Etymology: Borrowed from French culte du moi (“cult of the self”). Introduced by Maurice Barrès (1862–1923) in his trilogy Le Culte du moi (1888–1891).
Senses: examples: text: However, after a while, Barrès seems to have felt that the 'Culte de moi' was scarcely satisfactory as a rule of life, and in 1897, with 'Les deracinés,' began a new series of three novels under the collective title, 'Roman de l'énergie nationale.'
ref: 1915, The Library, Oxford University Press, page 119:
text: The culte du moi is one thing when it is representative, when one rhapsodizes one's self haughtily as a unit of the democratic mass, as Whitman undoubtedly did; and quite another when it is narrowly personal, a kind of glorification of the petty, personal attributes of young John Smith, used by him to conceal from himself the desirability; but that is what young John Smith, who calls himself a Whitmanite, is making of it.
ref: 1911 February, Cornelia A. P. Comer, “A Letter to the Rising Generation”, in The Atlantic:
text: The process of "elevations" must stamp out the "culte de moi" and replace it with the "culte de non-moi".
