abrogate = 'arrogate'

[Jonathan Lighter]

2009 Eugene O'Brien _"Kicking Bishop Brennan Up the Arse"_  (Oxford: Peter
Lang) 145: They are willing to be part of the nation-building force of an
imagined community that abrogates to itself the right to take life.

Catachresis or misprint?

Or something far more sinister?
