3.(figuratively) Convinced of one's own righteousness (self-righteousness) or the justifiability of one's actions or status, especially wrongly so; demanding and pretentious.
4.1989, Allan Tasman, Robert E. Hales, Allen J. Frances, American Psychiatric Press Review of Psychiatry, American Psychiatric Pub, →ISBN, page 514:
THE STRAIN OF DEALING WITH ENTITLED PEOPLE. Dealing with people who are generally convinced that life (and, in particular, the clinician) owes them something can be very wearisome work — particularly if on some level (usually unconscious) the clinician believes it is appropriate (and necessary for a feeling of competence and self-worth) to satisfy this special need. […] Entitled people can be even more difficult when they have the resources in the form of prestige, power, and/or wealth to transcend the usual bonds of social reality, or when they have the bitterness and tenacity to use legal action in the face of real or imagined failings on the part of the clinician.
5.2003, Richard M. Billow, Relational Group Psychotherapy: From Basic Assumptions to Passion, Jessica Kingsley Publishers, →ISBN, page 107:
People feel entitled to their entitlement, and frequently feel defensive when it is challenged. As a mechanism of defense, entitlement may be protectively maintained, denied, or disowned, and also projected to make the leader feel entitled.
6.2005, W. Keith Campbell, When You Love a Man Who Loves Himself, Sourcebooks, Inc., →ISBN, page 20:
In one research study, for example, we wanted to see if highly entitled people would actually take candy from children. […] He held up a bucket of Halloween candy that he said was supposed to go to the children in the developmental lab. Clearly, this was candy meant for children. The question was, would the entitled people take the candy? The experimenter passed it around the room and secretly counted the amount of candy that people took. As we expected, the entitled people took the most candy.
7.2008, Gordon Patzer, Looks: Why They Matter More Than You Ever Imagined, AMACOM Div American Mgmt Assn, →ISBN, page 40:
Thus, some men feel entitled to sex if they buy their date a nice meal or a few drinks. In decades past, more than a few women felt entitled to a marriage commitment after an exclusive dating relationship had lasted for some commonly agreed upon period of time—say, a year.
8.2011, Phil Torcivia, What a Nice Guy:
Nothing irks me more than entitled people. I understand that if we don't ask for what we want, we probably won't get it, but expectations are out of whack. Certain people unjustly expect to receive special treatment and they'll whine and pout like children when disappointed.
9.2011, Steve White, Please Change Your Mind, iUniverse, →ISBN, page 23:
And when you feel entitled, you don't ask for help, you demand it. What will happen when these people's entitlements are taken away? They'll be outraged. They'll feel like they've lost a God-given right. So, what are they likely to do?
10.2012, John Mauk, John Metz, The Composition of Everyday Life, Concise Edition, Cengage Learning, →ISBN, page 267:
It's not merely that students shouldn't feel entitled to high grades. Bruno goes further and discovers the double jeopardy of entitlement: Those who feel entitled are “missing out” on their own educations: […]
11.2013, William H. Reid, Stuart B. Silver, Handbook of Mental Health Administration and Management, Routledge, →ISBN, page 525:
Iudith Bardwick is an expert on employees like that, who feel “entitled” to their jobs but don't do very much to deserve them. She says entitlement behavior has little to do with intelligence or experience, and everything to do with motivation and fear. Leadership should not be delegated to “entitled” people. They don't make very good team members, either, although they may work acceptably in groups. And there is a difference between teams and groups. Deepdown, many people who feel entitled are very concerned about security and anxious about change.
12.2013, John Bishop, God Distorted: How Your Earthly Father Affects Your Perception of God and Why It Matters, Multnomah Books, →ISBN:
We are not sure what caused the argument among the disciples; they simply viewed themselves as more important than they really were. Entitled people can rarely see their own attitudes.
13.2014, Emmy Laybourne, Monument 14: Savage Drift, Macmillan, →ISBN, page 16:
“Jake always acts so entitled. Like he deserves her—like I don't.” “But she's really into you, right?” Alex asked me. “Astrid?” I nodded.

1.(ecology) A means of configuring civilization and human activity so that society, its members and its economies are able to meet their needs and express their greatest potential in the present, while preserving biodiversity and natural ecosystems, planning and acting for the ability to maintain these necessary resources for future generations.
2.(business) The ability to sustain a business in the long term, which is a state that is partly dependent on, but broader than, profitability today or in the short term; it involves aspects of a plausible path toward eventual profitability (as applies to a startup) and ecologic sustainability (for example, the long-term dependence of the timber/lumber industry on forest preservation and renewal, or of fisheries on viable fish stocks).

3.2022 January 12, “Network News: Further extension to Transport for London emergency funding”, in RAIL, number 948, page 8:
In a war of words that has broken out between Khan and Secretary of State for Transport Grant Shapps, the Mayor was accused of sending revenue-raising proposals to Shapps some three weeks late, giving him little choice but to extend negotiations. Khan countered this by alleging that 'unfair' conditions, such as raising council tax, are being attached to any new funding deal that would "punish Londoners" for the effect the pandemic has had on passenger numbers. He added: "These short-term deals are trapping TfL on life support rather than putting it on the path to long-term sustainability."
4.(civics) The ability to sustain a civic practice or process in the long term, such as democracy, entrepreneurialism, a war effort, or others.
universal primary and secondary education, without which the sustainability of innovation and entrepreneurialism seems questionable

With epic fantasy there is a tendency for it to be quintessentially conservative, in that its job is to restore what is perceived to be out of whack.”

mortgage
[[English]]
ipa :/ˈmɔː.ɡɪd͡ʒ/[Alternative forms]
- morgage (obsolete)
[Etymology]
From Middle English morgage and Middle French mortgage, from Anglo-Norman morgage, from Old French mort gage (“dead pledge”), after a translation of judicial Medieval Latin mortuum wadium, with wadium from Frankish *wadi (“wager, pledge”). Compare gage and also wage. So called because rents and profits from the land were owed to the lender for as long as the gage existed (comparable to interest on a loan today), as opposed to the living gage, in which rents and profits automatically reduced the debt (paying it off over time).
[Noun]
mortgage (countable and uncountable, plural mortgages)
1.(law) A special form of secured loan where the purpose of the loan must be specified to the lender, to purchase assets that must be fixed (not movable) property, such as a house or piece of farm land. The assets are registered as the legal property of the borrower but the lender can seize them and dispose of them if they are not satisfied with the manner in which the repayment of the loan is conducted by the borrower. Once the loan is fully repaid, the lender loses this right of seizure and the assets are then deemed to be unencumbered.
We're renting a property in the city centre because we can't afford to get a mortgage yet.
2.(obsolete) State of being pledged.
lands given in mortgage
[Verb]
mortgage (third-person singular simple present mortgages, present participle mortgaging, simple past and past participle mortgaged)
1.(transitive, law) To borrow against a property, to obtain a loan for another purpose by giving away the right of seizure to the lender over a fixed property such as a house or piece of land; to pledge a property in order to get a loan.
to mortgage a property, an estate, or a shop
We mortgaged our house in order to start a company.
2.(transitive, figurative) To pledge and make liable; to make subject to obligation; to achieve an immediate result by paying for it in the long term.
3.1982, Verne Moberg, The Truth and Work of Victoria Benedictsson, page 72:
She mortgaged her future for the pleasures of the relationship with the sculptor, a relationship she knew would be short.
4.2001, Antony Rowland, Tony Harrison and the Holocaust, page 193:
Like a latter-day Faustus who has mortgaged his soul to the pursuit of his art, Harrison now desperately craves the paternal love from which his learning has estranged him.
