覚え方のコツ Memory Tip
arrogantly は arrogant＋-ly。まず arrogant person で「人を見下す偉そうな人」を固定し、副詞化したら「そういう態度で振る舞って」。 proud や confidently が前向きな自信にもなりうるのに対し、 arrogant / arrogantly は相手を下に置く不快さが出る。 speak arrogantly, smile arrogantly, treat others arrogantly のように、話し方・表情・接し方に付く語として場面ごと覚えると定着する。名詞 arrogance もセットで。
This is simply "arrogant" plus "-ly," so first fix "arrogant person" in your mind. Then the adverb becomes "in an arrogant way." It is useful to compare it with "confidently": confidence can be positive, but "arrogantly" has the unpleasant sense of looking down on others.

arrogantly の語源・成り立ち Etymology
arrogantly は arrogant「傲慢な」に -ly が付いた副詞で、arrogant はラテン語 arrogare「自分に権利を求める」に由来します。ad-「〜へ」+ rogare「求める」から、「分以上に自分を大きく主張する」感覚が生まれ、傲慢の意味になりました。関連語は arrogate、prerogative。
Arrogantly comes from arrogant with the adverb ending -ly. Arrogant comes from Latin arrogare, built from ad- and rogare, meaning "to ask" or "claim for oneself." The idea shifted from claiming rights or importance to oneself to behaving as if one deserves more than others. Related words include arrogate and prerogative.
