Harangueful

/ˌhærænˈdʒuːfəl/ adjective

Definition

Characterized by or full of haranguing; prone to delivering lengthy, forceful speeches or tirades.

Etymology

From 'harangue' plus the suffix '-ful' meaning 'full of.' This is a rare or archaic formation, likely created by adding the standard English adjective-forming suffix to the noun.

Kelly Says

This word is so obscure that it barely appears in historical records—it's an example of how English speakers could theoretically create any adjective by adding '-ful,' but only a few combinations actually stuck around!
