Definition: The word 'arrogative' comes from Latin, meaning 'self-seeking' or 'selfish'. It means someone who treats others as a superior being over them, often through actions that seem beneficial to them but harm those less fortunate. In Christian theology, 'arrogant' is used synonymously with 'hypocritical', indicating an attitude of self-importance and grandiosity, which leads to deception, pride, and untruthfulness.
