Etymology
Arrogance comes from the Latin word arrogare, which means 'to claim for oneself', and is made of ad- 'to' and rogare 'to ask'. You can spot the rog- part in words like interrogate ('to ask'), which may help you remember it. So, arrogance is like taking respect or power without asking, acting as if you are more important than others.
