Definition
迅猛 (xùn měng) means 'swift and fierce' — it combines speed (迅) with force/aggression (猛). Use it for developments, competition, or reactions that are both fast and violent. Compare: 迅速 (xùn sù) is just 'rapid, fast' without the fierceness; 猛烈 (měng liè) and 凶猛 (xiōng měng) emphasize intensity/fierceness but don't imply speed.
