usurp: [14] Etymologically, to usurp something is probably to ‘seize it for one’s own use’. The word comes via Old French usurper from Latin ūsūrpāre, which may have been formed from the noun ūsus ‘use’ (source of English use) and rapere ‘seize’ (source of English rape, rapture, ravish, etc). => rape, rapture, ravish, use
usurp (v.)
early 14c., from Old French usurper "to (wrongfully) appropriate" (14c.), from Latin usurpare "make use of, seize for use," in later Latin "to assume unlawfully, trespass on," from usus "a use" (see use (v.)) + rapere "to seize" (see rapid (adj.)). Related: Usurped; usurping.
