vehement
意味: Showing strong, intense feeling or conviction; forceful and passionate in expression or action.
Vehement describes intensity of feeling rather than mere loudness or aggression. A vehement denial is not just forceful but deeply felt; vehement opposition is passionate and unwavering. The word is neutral in tone — it can describe admirable conviction as easily as stubborn intransigence. It is a staple of political reporting, legal proceedings, and editorial commentary.
