Usage Note
Guerrier can be both a noun (a warrior) and an adjective meaning 'warlike' — une tribu guerrière is 'a warlike tribe.' The feminine noun is guerrière. It is more literary than combattant (fighter) and often evokes ancient or tribal warriors. Humeur guerrière idiomatically describes a combative mood.
