Usage Note

Orgullosamente is the adverbial form of orgulloso ('proud'). In Spanish, adverbs ending in -mente are formed from the feminine singular of the adjective; because orgulloso has a regular feminine orgullosa, the adverb is predictable. The root noun orgullo can carry both positive ('pride') and negative ('arrogance') connotations depending on context.
