Word of the Week 3

truculent: fierce, cruel.

I found this word in one of my readings for another class. "The Sisters" by James Joyce. Truculent is another word for fierce or cruel which I never knew before.

It was used in the following sentence. "His face was very truculent, grey and massive with black cavernous nostrils".
