Entitled

अधिकार-प्राप्त; शीर्षक/नाम दिया हुआ; (अनौपचारिक) विशेष अधिकार समझने वाला/हक़ जताने वाला

Origin & History

From Middle English via Old French, from Medieval Latin "intitulare" meaning "to give a title/name" (from Latin "titulus" = "title"); later extended to mean "to give a right/claim."

मध्य अंग्रेज़ी में (पुरानी फ़्रेंच के माध्यम से) मध्यकालीन लैटिन "intitulare" से, जिसका अर्थ था "शीर्षक/नाम देना" (लैटिन "titulus" = "शीर्षक"); बाद में अर्थ बढ़कर "अधिकार/दावा देना" भी हो गया।
