The term "arrant" functions as a powerful intensifier in literature, used to underscore the extreme or unmitigated nature of a characteristic, often with a mix of criticism and irony. Its application ranges from branding someone as a deplorable person—as when a pedlar is denounced as an arrant scoundrel [1] or a coward is unambiguously condemned [2, 3]—to highlighting an absurd or laughable quality in a character, such as being an arrant block-head [4] or an arrant rogue [5]. In many works, the word not only magnifies the severity of the insult but also adds a rhythmic, almost theatrical quality to the language, as seen in the emphatic dismissal of a thief or a cheat [6, 7]. This enduring usage across diverse authors and periods reinforces the word's role in delivering uncompromising moral judgment with a touch of mordant wit [8, 9].
