The transformation from 'aggress' to 'aggression' is clear, but the base 'aggress' itself is less commonly known.
Etymology
The word aggression comes from Latin parts ad- 'to' and gress 'step', the same root you see in progress. Think of it as 'stepping toward' someone, which is why aggression means hostile or violent behavior toward others.
