מַכְיָן (makyan)

Type: Noun
Definition: A streetwise tough guy. Someone who hits without hesitation and doesn’t overthink confrontation. Think: brawler, enforcer, someone you don’t mess with.
Origin: From the Hebrew root נ־כ־ה (to strike), with the initial נ dropped (as in היכה – he hit). The suffix -ן (-an) marks personality types, like שקרן (liar) or קשקשן (chatterbox). מַכְיָן (makyan) = “one who strikes.”
Don’t mess with him, he’s a real מַכְיָן (makyan).”
