How can I understand this "of"?
This is from a vocabulary building website called Memrise:
Word:recalcitrant
Definition:defiant of authority or restraint.
I can't understand how to understand the of in its definition.
Is an authority defiant?
An authority thinks that someone is defiant.
Could you tell me, please?
