arrogantly

/ˈɛɹəɡəntɫi/ adv

In an arrogant manner; with undue pride or self-importance.

Word Origin From Latin arrogare 'to claim for oneself' — arrogant literally means 'claiming for oneself,' taking undue credit. The root rogare 'to ask' gives us interrogate (ask between), prerogative (asked first, privilege), and abrogate (ask away, repeal). Arrogantly is acting with that self-claiming attitude.
