Belligerent और bellicose दोनों में 'bel' है, यानी लड़ाई — वही जो rebel में है। Bellicose वाली glucose पीकर लड़ती बिल्लियों को याद रखिए; जो हमेशा लड़ने को तैयार रहे, वह belligerent है।

Belligerent shares its 'bel' (war) with bellicose, and with rebel, a person who fights against authority. Keep the picture of the fighting glucose cats from bellicose. A belligerent person is aggressive and unfriendly, always ready for a fight.
