Pomp is all the impressive clothes, gold, flags, slow music, and careful walking that belong to a big official ceremony — when a new king or queen is crowned, at a state funeral, at the opening of parliament. It is the show of the day, not the job underneath. English often pairs it as pomp and circumstance; circumstance here means the formal ceremony, not “what happened.” The word feels a little grand, a little old. News writers still use it; a teenager probably would not. You do not say “a pomp.” Though actually people also use it with a raised , for empty show — lots of pomp, not much meaning. It came from Greek through Latin and French: a word for a solemn procession, from a verb meaning “to send.” There is a rare verb to pomp, but you can ignore it. The sister word is harsher: a person is full of their own importance, not just dressed up for a ceremony.

組成From French pompe, from Latin pompa, from Greek pompḗ, “a sending, a solemn procession,” from pémpō, “to send.”
