Word of the Day

truculent

Merriam-Webster's Word of the Day for October 30, 2025 is:

truculent • \TRUCK-yuh-lunt\  • adjective

Truculent describes a person who is easily annoyed and eager to argue or fight. It can also describe the mood or attitude of such a person.

// The approach of multiple deadlines had put me in a truculent mood, and I could tell my colleagues were avoiding me.

See the entry >

Examples:

“It’s the holidays, and strings of gaudy rainbow lights twinkle from gables. In cozy living rooms, the elders doze in their chairs while middle-aged siblings bicker and booze it up around the dining table. Little kids squirm in makeshift beds trying to stay awake for Santa, while truculent teenagers sneak out into the suburban night to do secret teenager things.” — Jessica Kiang, Variety, 24 May 2024

Did you know?

English speakers adopted truculent from Latin in the mid-16th century, trimming truculentus, a form of the Latin adjective trux, meaning “savage,” and keeping the word’s meaning. Apparently in need of a new way to describe what is cruel and fierce, they applied truculent both to brutal things (wars, for example) and people (such as tyrants). Eventually even a plague could be truculent. In current use, though, the word has lost much of its etymological fierceness. It now typically describes the sort of person who is easily annoyed and eager to argue, or language that is notably harsh.
