Characterized by or tending toward physical attack or aggression.
From assault + -ive (tending to). The -ive suffix converts the noun into an adjective describing behavior or tendency.
Psychologists and behavioral specialists use 'assaultive' to describe patterns—it's a clinical term that suggests the action isn't just a one-time event but a tendency.
