irritated

irritated
Adjective

This term describes a state of mild agitation or physical inflammation. When used emotionally, it suggests a low-level frustration or impatience rather than intense rage. It is often used to describe a reaction to a repetitive or nagging stimulus, making it softer than "angry" but more specific than "annoyed."

In a medical or dermatological context, the word refers to a physical reaction where the skin or a membrane becomes red, itchy, or sore. This usage is purely descriptive of a physiological state and lacks the emotional connotation of the first sense.
