overassertive

/ˌoʊvɚɹæsˈɜɾɪv/ adj

Too assertive.

Word Origin Over- 'excessively' + assertive, from Latin 'asserere' (to claim, assert), literally 'to join oneself to' — ad- 'to' + serere 'to join'. So overassertive is joining your opinion too forcefully. The root 'serere' also gives us 'series' (things joined) and 'insert' (join in).
