Today’s “Word of the Day” is hector and it is a verb meaning “to talk and behave arrogantly & threateningly; bully, intimidate, browbeat, harass, pressurize“.
Example Sentence: All new prime ministers start by expecting to control more than it is possible to control. Frustrations make No 10 advisers hyperactive, ever more directive, controlling, even bullying. The effect is always the same. It leads to cabinet ministers feeling sidelined and hectored and senior officials becoming disengaged, resigned, even resentful.
