Definition
As a noun, a rebel is a person who resists authority, control, or tradition. As a verb, to rebel means to refuse to obey rules or people in power.
Etymology
From Latin *rebellis* meaning ‘waging war again’, from *re-* (again) + *bellum* (war). It came through Old French into English with the sense of one who rises up against rule.
Kelly Says
Even in the spelling you can see *bell* like ‘belligerent’ and ‘bellicose’, all tied to war. A rebel isn’t just different; they’re pushing back against a system they see as wrong.
