Adjective[edit] belligerent â(comparative more belligerent, superlative most belligerent) 1  Engaged in warfare, warring. 2  Eager to go to war, warlike. 3  Of or pertaining to war. ( 4 By extension) Aggressively hostile, eager to fight.  Acting violently towards others.
A belligerent (lat. bellum gerere, to wage war) is an individual, group, country, or other entity that acts in a hostile manner, such as engaging in combat. Unlike the use of belligerent as an adjective to mean aggressive, its use as a noun does not necessarily imply that a belligerent country is an aggressor. In times of war, belligerent countries can be contrasted with neutral countries and non-belligerents.
