A more thorough explanation: “Contumacious” is a legal term that refers to a person’s willful disobedience or disregard for authority, typically in the context of a court order or legal process. It describes behavior that is stubbornly resistant to authority or guidance.
Example: The defendant’s contumacious behavior in court, including repeatedly interrupting the judge and refusing to comply with orders, led to a finding of contempt.
