Tédio arrogante
Having high and often unpredictable standards;
showing a meticulous or demanding attitude
The word traces to the Latin noun 'fastidium', meaning 'aversion' or 'disgust'.
It is itself probably a combination of the Latin words 'fastus', meaning 'arrogance', and 'taedium', meaning 'irksomeness' or 'disgust' ('taedium' also gave us tedium).
