Definition
悍 is a bound form (b.f.) meaning 'brave, fierce, or ferocious'. It is not used as an independent word; instead it appears as the second character in compound words such as 强悍 (qiáng hàn, tough and fierce), 悍然 (hàn rán, outrageously/brazenly), and 凶悍 (xiōng hàn, fierce and tough). You should only use it in these and similar compounds.
