Where this word comes from

Learned borrowing from Ancient Greek ῠ̔βρῐστῐκός (hŭbrĭstĭkós, “given to wantonness, insolent, outrageous”) + English -ic (suffix forming adjectives with the sense ‘of or relating to’). Ῠ̔βρῐστῐκός (Hŭbrĭstĭkós) is derived from ὑβρίζω (hubrízō, “to be wanton, run riot; to affront, insult”) (from ῠ̔́βρις (hŭ́bris, “insolence; pride”) (possibly from Pre-Greek) + -ῐ́ζω (-ĭ́zō, suffix forming similative verbs)) + -τῐκός (-tĭkós, suffix forming adjectives). By surface analysis, hubris + -tic (suffix forming adjectives).
