An adjective describing someone who is self-willed, arrogant, or stubbornly insistent on their own way. Paul lists it among qualifications an overseer must not have (Titus 1:7). Peter warns of bold and self-willed people who are not afraid to blaspheme (2 Peter 2:10). The term combines 'self' and 'pleasing,' suggesting someone who pleases only themselves with no regard for others. Classical usage included stubborn, surly, or self-pleasing senses.
