Morphology
arrogant = arrog (opaque) = arrog + ant
The base 'arrog' is not a standalone English word and its meaning is not transparent to learners.
Etymology
Arrogant comes from the Latin parts ad- 'to' and rogare 'to ask', so it originally meant 'to ask for yourself'. You can also see the same root in interrogate 'to ask'. That is why an arrogant person acts as if they deserve more and looks down on others.
