| Reference: precedence Reference information: As Andy says, it is referring to his "ascenso", but as a matter of this person's "rightful" rise to a position in the party, owing to a kind of "ceremonial" order. I believe "precedence" is exactly the word required here. The condition of being considered more important than someone or something else; priority in importance, order, or rank. ‘his desire for power soon took precedence over any other consideration’ More example sentencesSynonyms 1.1 The order to be ceremonially observed by people of different rank, according to an acknowledged or legally determined system. ‘quarrels over precedence among the Bonaparte family marred the coronation’ https://en.oxforddictionaries.com/definition/precedence |
