the survival instinct wearing a tuxedo, insisting it was invited.
means The quality of caring chiefly about your own wants and advantages while ignoring or undervaluing the needs of others.
from Built from "self" plus the suffix "-ish" plus "-ness," the word "selfish" was reportedly coined in the mid-1600s by English Presbyterian writers who needed a sharp name for the sin of self-regard — "self" itself reaches back through Old English to a Germanic root for one's own person. So the abstract noun "selfishness" is the youngest layer: the disposition named, then nounified.
