Impetuous Rush Taylor Im Pech Oo Uhs Adjective Marked Impulsiveness Impatience

adjective

Marked by impulsiveness or impatience.

[From Latin impetus (assault, impetus), from impetere (to attack), from in- (in) + petere (to go to). Ultimately from the Indo-European root pet- (to rush or fly), which also gave us feather, petition, compete, perpetual, pterodactyl, helicopter, propitious, pinnate, and lepidopterology (study of butterflies and moths). Earliest documented use: 1398.]

"Fools rush in ... Taylor Swift often acts, well, like an impetuous teen straight out of one of her songs."
