privilege

n. special individual right not enjoyed by others; benefit, right, advantage; prerogative, benefits given only to people of a particular group; immunity from legal prosecution

v. grant special rights, give special advantages or benefits; provide immunity from legal prosecution; exempt, release from a particular obligation

A privilege—etymologically "private law" or law relating to a specific individual—is a special  entitlement or immunity granted by a government or other authority to a restricted group, either by birth or on a conditional basis. A privilege can be revoked in some cases. In modern democracies, a privilege is conditional and granted only after birth. By contrast, a right is an inherent, irrevocable entitlement held by all citizens or all human beings from birth.
