Usurp में 'यू सर्प' सुनिए। जैसे साँप चुपके से किसी और की जगह पर कुंडली मार ले, वैसे ही usurper बिना हक़ के किसी की गद्दी या सत्ता हड़प लेता है। उल्टा release, give।

Hear 'you sarp' (sarp = snake) in USURP. Like a snake slipping onto a seat that is not its own, the usurper creeps in and seizes someone's throne or power without any right. Its opposites are release and give.
