Background / Comments
The words “aggressive” and “aggression” are much more familiar (I didn’t know that there was a verb form). Our word came from the Latin verb aggredī (to approach; to attack; to undertake). When our word first entered English, it could also mean “to approach”, but this usage is now obsolete.
