Summary/Abstract: The article deals with the varied formations of expressivisms stemming from "chełpić się", "chwalić się", "chlubić się". The written material containing 57 word-forms was excerpted from all available lexicographical sources recording historical vocabulary. It was presented in the form of a word formation nest. The purpose of the analysis was to show the inner structure of interconnectedness and the motivating factors between the centers of nests ("chełpić się", "chwalić się", "chlubić się") and the group of words with a different background. In the article the most important combinatory tendencies typical of the Polish language in previous centuries were indicated. The representation of the patterns of „the togetherness of suffixes” allowed to track the way of evolution of word formation. The patterns mentioned above made it also possible to show the most important transformations.
