cavalier
The adjective form carries a strong negative connotation of arrogance and negligence. It describes a specific type of indifference that is not merely passive, but actively dismissive or haughty, often suggesting that the person feels they are above the rules or the concerns of others.
As a noun, the term oscillates between a specific historical identity and a general personality type. When referring to the English Civil War, it is a proper designation for Royalists. In a general sense, it evokes the image of a horseman's perceived superiority, translating into a description of someone who behaves with an air of nobility or entitlement.
