proprietorial

/ɔːɹiəl/ adj

Characteristic of or behaving like a proprietor or owner (of a thing); possessive.

Word Origin Proprietor comes from Latin proprius 'one's own' — so proprietorial means 'relating to an owner.' The same root gives us property (something owned), proprietary (pertaining to ownership), appropriate (to make one's own), and expropriate (to take out of one's own). The -ial suffix makes it an adjective. The idea of ownership is central.
