Can't think of this adjective

Deranged96 · 2015-04-16 13:45:02

The word isn't coming to mind and its driving me queer. An adjective for an old battleaxe of a woman, something like "hardian". Can anyone help me?

You're maybe thinking of _harridan_? However, I think that's not an adjective...
Or _termagant_? That's a noun as well as an adjective.

Thank you
