Was humility originally a positive moral virtue?

Not in every recorded Latin sense. Classical humilitās names physical lowness and low stature, then low rank, insignificance, meanness, or abjectness. Lewis and Short separately marks the good sense opposed to pride as ecclesiastical Latin.

LEGACY SOURCE SUMMARY
Lewis and Short supplies the sense sequence; CNRTL independently distinguishes classical physical and social lowness from the Christian virtue sense.
RESOLUTION NOTE

The graph preserves classical and ecclesiastical sense nodes instead of projecting the later virtue backward onto every Latin occurrence.
