Self-conceit; boastfulness (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

egotism

I believe this clue is a double definition.

'self-conceit' is the first definition.
(I've seen this before)

'boastfulness' is the second definition.
(thesaurus)

(Other definitions for egotism that I've seen before include "Self-centredness" , "Excessive conceit" , "Selfishness" , "Self-importance" , "Items go (anag.)" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
