Today's words

mise-en-scène /'meez-'ahn-SEN/ - 1a. the arrangement of actors and scenery on a stage for a theatrical production  b. stage setting  2a. the physical setting of an action (as of a narrative or a motion picture) : context  b. environment, milieu

Kind of had a feeling that there should be a sub-emphasis on the first syllable. But the standard entry indicated that there are actually sub-emphases on the first two syllables which were not shown in the WOTD-style pronunciation, so I've added them above (but still omitted the alternate pronunciation).

arrogate /AIR-uh-gayt / -  1a. to claim or seize without justification b. to make undue claims to having : assume  2. to claim on behalf of another : ascribe

And I was pretty sure when I saw this word that it would have some relationship to "arrogant," but wasn't sure exactly how. Sure 'nuff.
