The word "aggressing" is derived from the verb "aggress", which comes from the Latin word "aggressus", the past participle of "aggredi" ("to approach, attack"). In Latin, "aggressus" is formed from the prefix "ad-" (meaning "towards" or "to") and the verb "gradi" (meaning "to walk" or "to go"). Thus, the basic idea behind "aggressing" is to move or walk towards someone or something with hostile intentions.
