arrogation
This term carries a heavy negative connotation, implying a sense of entitlement and a lack of legitimacy. It describes a bold, often aggressive seizure of authority that is viewed as an infringement on the rights of others. While appropriation might be neutral or legal, arrogation is almost always framed as an illicit or presumptuous act.
In legal or political discourse, it refers to the unilateral assumption of power. Because it describes a specific act of claiming, it is treated as a countable noun, though it is frequently used in singular constructions to describe a general state of overreach.
