Answer

SURLY

SURLY means bad tempered, unfriendly, and inclined to anger or rudeness. The word has interesting origins, evolving from the Middle English word sirly, which meant lordly or arrogant. Over time, its meaning shifted to describe someone who acts superior in a hostile or churlish way.

Strategy Tip

Today's word has only one vowel, which can make it tricky to identify. When your usual vowel hunting comes up short, consider words with just a single U or Y as their vowel sound. Trying words like RUSTY or CURLY can help test this pattern.
