dictatorial
意味: Relating to or characteristic of a dictator; exercising absolute authority in an imperious, domineering manner that allows no disagreement or challenge.
Dictatorial has two related senses. In political contexts, it describes the formal apparatus of dictatorship — centralised power, suppression of opposition, and absence of democratic accountability. In everyday usage, it is applied figuratively to anyone who behaves in an overbearing, high-handed manner. The figurative sense is common in workplace and institutional criticism. It collocates with 'dictatorial powers,' 'dictatorial style,' 'dictatorial tone,' and 'dictatorial leader.'
