What is a good word to use for describing someone as "desiring power"?
I suppose power-hungry would work. Megalomaniac seems a bit much, but I can see how that works. I was wondering if there was another word, something I didn't know.
I'm using the word to describe a group of people, and I wish to be both descriptive and respectful.
Best Answer
aspirant
noun:
a person who has ambitions to achieve something: an aspirant to the throne.
