Outline
• appropriate (v.):
    1. I. To set apart for a particular purpose:
      1. 1. dĭco, 1: read on, I a. the service of my ears to you, recita, aurium operam tibi dico, Pl.: we a. the whole of this day to you, hunc tibi totum dicamus diem, Cic.: v. to dedicate, devote.
      2. 2. dīco, dixi, dictum, 3: to a. all one's money for a dowry, pecuniam omnem suam doti d., Cic.: v. to set apart.
    2. II. to take for oneself (esp. in exclusion of others):
      1. 1. arrŏgo, 1 (i. e. to claim presumptuously): with dat. of pron. reflect.: what they a. from other men's merit, that they do not allow to me from my own, quod ex aliena virtute sibi arrogant, id mihi ex mea non concedunt, Sall.
      2. 2. ascisco (ads.), scīvi, scītum, 3 (without any invidious sense: v. to admit, adopt): with dat. of pron. reflect.: which neither earth nor sky has a.d, quae neque terra sibi ascivit neque maximus aether, Lucr.: to a. a town, sibi oppidum a., Cic.: to a. the praise of eloquence, eloquentiae laudem uni sibi a., Tac.
      3. 3. attrecto, 1 (to lay hands on dishonestly): to a. the king's treasures, regias gazas a., Liv.
      4. 4. vindĭco, 1 (to assert a claim: v. to claim): with pron. reflect.: each one a.s some part of what remains, ceterarum rerum partem aliquam sibi quisque vindicat, Cic.: to a. the greater part of (the merit of) a victory, victoriae majorem partem ad se v., Liv.
      5. 5. sūmo, sumpsi, sumptum, 3: with dat. of pron. reflect.: to a. the functions of a commander-in-chief, sibi imperatorias partes s., Caes.
      6. 6. assūmo, 3 (constr. same as sumo): to a. to oneself what one has taken from another, quod alteri quis detraxerit sibi a., Cic. (Both in this and in the foregoing word, the notion of wrongfulness lies not in the verb, but in the context: in another place Cic. has, si id mihi assumo, videor id meo jure quodam modo vindicare, i. e. "If I take thus m ch to myself, I seem therein to be in a manner claiming my own right," Off. 1, 1, 2: similarly with vindico and other words: thus, to a. to oneself exclusively the title of philosopher, may be expr. by sibi uni nomen philosophi inscribere, cf. Cic. Tusc. 5, 26, 73).
