I had a random thought rereading the manga about Escanor’s sin, since I don’t believe It was ever explained. I believe his sin is tied to his ax and its name. The ax is named Rhitta, after a maiden loved by the sun. I’m going to go hard assume mode and guess that by the sun he meant himself. I believe that Rhitta was Escanor’s first love before Merlin, and that his pride was extremely hurt by this girl. In a rage, he killed her (but avoided her face because he has courtesy). This was of course in his day time form, and at night he turned himself in, and was given the lion sin of pride. Of course the very next day he broke out, and went on his way before meeting Merlin. I think when he named the ax he named It in her memory.
