pomp

pomp: [14] Greek pompé meant literally ‘sending’ (it was derived from the verb pémpein ‘send’). But it came to be used metaphorically for a ‘solemn procession or parade’ (as being something that was ‘sent out’ on its way), and hence for the concomitant ‘display’ or ‘ostentation’, and passed with these senses into Latin as pompa. They survived into English, but ‘procession’ has gradually died out.

pomp (n.)

c. 1300, from Old French pompe "pomp, magnificence" (13c.) and directly from Latin pompa "procession, pomp," from Greek pompe "solemn procession, display," literally "a sending," from pempein "to send." In Church Latin, used in deprecatory sense for "worldly display, vain show."
