arrogante

/aroˈɡante/ · B1 · adj

arrogant

🦚 Same Latin root as English arrogant: arrogare, to claim for yourself

Latin ad (to) + rogare (to ask) gave arrogare, to claim for yourself. An arrogante person claims more than is theirs. Spanish just adds an -e to the English word: arrogant becomes arrogante.
