- 1侮辱人的、帶侮辱意味的
If something is insulting, it is very rude in a way that hurts a person's pride. It is more than "not polite." Friends can be a little rude and still be kind; an insulting remark tries to make someone look small, or it does that even when the speaker smiles and calls it a joke. You can call words insulting, a look insulting, or even a price insulting: if someone offers far too little money for your work or your home, the offer can feel insulting, because it says, without saying it, that what you have is worth almost nothing. This is an everyday word, not a fancy one. It is stronger than . There is always a person (or a group) on the receiving end.
組成From the verb insult (to say or do something rude) + -ing, used here as an adjective.
