internets have failed me on definition(s).

abriproprium?
abripropriam?

(see abripropriousness)

This is a word I know from back in the day. Inspired by a thread somewhere on words we know, but of which we don't quite get the roots, or the roots no longer are in general circulation.

Abri(o?) apparently being an archaic synonym in- or anti- or mala-

First time I've typed a word into the internets searches in recent memory and get nothing back on general results that relates to what I've typed.

Can a co-arfer get a hand here? Am I hallucinating, or just remembering more than the interwebs is willing or able to return on basic searches?

Is this the start of the Zuckerber memory coup?

I have never heard that word so I think you just made it up. The only way you can prove otherwise is to provide me with a link to the meaning.

Seems to have Latin roots.

Perhaps related to the word ?abripio??

Abrir is not Latin, but a Romance derivative of the Latin aperire.

Some of you may need to embiggen your vocabulary.

It's a perfectly cromulent word.

OK, J/K I'm pretty well read and I've never heard it either. [Coffee]

I have enough problem with street cred without obfuscating my written/spoken communication using archaic or rarely used syntax.

pro?pri?um (prō′prē-əm) n. pl. pro?pri?a (-prē-ə) In Aristotelian thought, a predicable property common to all members of a kind but not constituting part of the definition of that kind. [Medieval Latin, from neuter of Latin proprius, proper (to) (translation of Greek idion); see per in Indo-European roots.]

Allopurinol? You got the gout?

Or are you thinking malapropism? (which would be kinda ironic)

What does that mystery word mean that the OP noted?

It means to be against the "removal of the Anglican Church's status as the state church of England, Ireland, and Wales."
