Though I think arrogance is a necessary intermediary step between the two.

Who really knows, as evil acts can vary depending on the viewpoint. But I think we can say that most people would consider someone like Hitler to be an "evil person", everything Hitler did in regards to achieving power, starting WWII, the holocaust etc was driven by fear.
You're welcome to disagree. But imo, fear is the root.
eg Just look at the recent studies done on what attracted Trump's largest demographic (White males) to vote for him, it was an [unfounded] fear of losing their identity.
Right, which is why I think it is desire. Humans...we...I don't know how to describe it. But we have "desire" turned up to 11 it and permeates almost every aspect of our behavior.
I also think this is part of why some Buddhists seek to eliminate desire or the desires that are seen as operating in opposition to obtaining nirvana.
I am not Buddhist nor do I know enough about it to properly represent some of the beliefs (there are many flavors of Buddhism, as well).
I don't think you're wrong. None of us are wrong. I've read lengthy descriptions about fear being the root of all negatives in a person's and people's lives.
And I am somewhat plagiarizing the "desire" concept from Buddhism, too.
Fear and desire are gateway emotions that can lead to other actions.
Hate can be totally irrational and not based on anything predictable.
I don't think any 1 specific emotion can be the basis of the root of all evil. Generally when terrible shit happens its multiple negative emotions that drive the actions.
The root of all evil is evil itself. However, the Quadrilogy of Hatred, Rage, Fear, and Desire form the basis of what all humanity considers acts of evil.
There are other things that can lead to acts of evil of course, such as Madness (Mania for example). Sadness and Melancholy are another ones in much more rare circumstances. Sadism, Amoral nature or lack of empathy. And of course, coersion.
