Privileged is the general verbiage from J/R:

"A fielder is privileged if he is trying to field a batted ball, and he is given priority to field it, and he is not chasing a deflected or missed fielding try."

"Protected," is the same thing. I believe they used, "privilege," for a fielder, and, "protected," for an obstructed runner. It's a definitional pairs thing -- Interference/Obstruction and Privileged/Protected.
