Yes the word bully is an apt description. Originally, around the 1530's, it meant sweetheart. If the bully was not somehow fond of the victim on some level, they would leave the person alone. The word bully came from the Dutch boel which means brother or lover. That probably came from buole which means brother, or the German word buhle that means lover. Then the connotation started to deteriorate by the 1600's, shifting from "fine fellow," to "blusterer," to "harasser of the weak." Some combined the harassment meaning with the older meaning of lover, thus giving the word somewhat of a connotation of a pimp. The actual word of bully as it is now spelled didn't show up until the early 1700's.
