Aggressive में वही 'gress' है जो progress में है — आगे बढ़ना। पर aggressive आदमी हमले के इरादे से आगे बढ़ता है; जो ख़ुद झगड़ा आगे बढ़ाए, वह aggressive है।

AgGRESSive shares GRESS (step) with progress. Progress is stepping forward to grow; aggressive is stepping forward to attack. A hostile, violent person who pushes a fight forward is aggressive.
