猖狂

• 병음: chāng kuáng
• 한자 분석: 猖 = 犭(dog radical) + 昌 (prosperous, phonetic — here implying unchecked growth); 狂 = 犭(dog radical) + 王 (king, phonetic)

뜻

기승을 부리다; 횡포하다

Has a strong negative connotation and is almost always used to criticise or condemn. Common in media, political, and legal discourse to describe criminal activity, hostile forces, or extreme behaviour (猖狂进攻, 猖狂肆虐). NOT used to compliment someone's boldness or confidence — use 大胆 or 果断 for those. The 犭(dog) radical in both characters signals animalistic, unrestrained behaviour.
