• To arrogate to oneself — To claim, assume, or attribute to oneself abusively and unjustifiably a right, title, power, merit, or privilege without having the legal or moral authority to do so. Used almost exclusively as a reflexive verb ('a-și aroga').
• Act of oppression — The deed, gesture, or result of the act of oppressing; a concrete abuse, severe injustice, or tyrannical act committed by an oppressor upon a defenseless person. In the structure of old popular language, it designated an injury or oppression materialized in a loss.
• Affront — Originally, an insult, outrage, act of violence, or flagrant injustice committed by Ottoman authorities against Christian subjects or foreign merchants, often for extortion purposes. In a modern and broader sense, the term designates a deep insult, a public humiliation, systematic harassment, or a severe injustice suffered by a person from someone in a position of power.
