In current usage is the sense of superiority towards others, manifested through continued disdain. In this sense it is used in place of arrogance or hauteur . The origin of the term is legal , to derogate from the Latin, and ask what it would not be attributed. In Roman law arrogate meant "ask the people" to adopt such a person without parental authority should be required publicly to all the people together, consensus. So arrogant is the one that subverts the natural order of giving and receiving.
