TRUCULENT

adjective, feeling or displaying ferocity, deadly, destructive, scathingly harsh, aggressively self-assertive

Dork's truculent demeanour made him unpleasant to work with, particularly as deadlines approached.

"Truculent" derives from truculent, a form of the Latin adjective trux, meaning "savage." It has been used in English since the 16th century to describe people or things that are cruel and ferocious, such as tyrannical leaders or wars, and has also come to mean "deadly or destructive" (as in "a truculent disease").

In current use, however it has lost much of its etymological fierceness. It now frequently serves to describe speech or writing that is notably harsh (as in "truculent criticism") or a person who is notably self-assertive and surly (such as "a truculent schoolboy"). Some usage commentators have criticized these extended uses because they do not match the savagery of the word's original sense, but they are all established and perfectly standard.
