Homonym: Combative (Aggressive)
The term "combative" refers to a tendency to engage in conflict or confrontation. It describes individuals or behaviors that are aggressive, argumentative, or eager to fight. This can manifest in physical altercations, verbal disputes, or competitive situations where one party seeks to dominate or challenge another.
In various contexts, such as sports or military training, being combative can be seen as a positive trait, indicating readiness and resilience.
