Hun

(hʌn)

n. 1. a member of a pastoral people of the Eurasian steppes, who in the late 4th century a.d. began a course of alternating conflict and alliance with their Iranian and Germanic neighbors and the Roman Empire: they reached the height of their power in Europe under Attila in the 5th century, and then disappeared from history. 2. (often l.c.) a barbarous, destructive person; vandal. 3. Extremely Disparaging and Offensive. a. (a contemptuous term used to refer to a German soldier in World War I or II.) b. (a contemptuous term used to refer to a German.) [before 900; singular of Huns, Old English Hūnas; akin to Late Latin Hunnī] usage: The meanings represented by definitions 3a and 3b, though appearing mostly in historical contexts, are used with disparaging intent and are perceived as highly insulting, since the Germans are likened to the barbarous, warlike, destructive Huns of the 4th and 5th centuries.
