insurgent
意味: A person who rises in active revolt against an established authority or government; also used as an adjective meaning rebellious.
Insurgent functions as both a noun and an adjective. As a noun, it describes a rebel fighting against a government, typically as part of an organised but non-state armed group. 'Insurgent forces,' 'an insurgent movement,' and 'counter-insurgency' are standard collocations. The word is common in military and political reporting. It is generally considered more neutral than 'terrorist' but less legitimising than 'freedom fighter' — the choice of term often reflects political stance. In figurative usage, 'an insurgent campaign' can describe a political outsider challenging the establishment.
