I hadn't even considered that perspective. My mind has been expanded hence, one of the primary reasons I come here =D. Again thank-you, Mr. Pitts.
Nothing opens your eyes quite as fast as a legal dictionary and an etymological dictionary or at the very least, high arching eyebrows.
Sidenote:
Privilege comes form Latin privus + lex (gen. legis) or "individual" and "law" or privilegium "law applying to one person".
Private from latin privus meaning "one's own, individual".
Some are of the mind that privilege is Latin for "private law".
