feuding

feuding
NounAdjective

This term describes a specific type of conflict characterized by persistence and a cycle of revenge. It differs from a simple argument or a temporary disagreement by implying a deep-seated, often generational, hostility where each act of aggression justifies a counter-attack.

When used as an adjective, it describes the state of the participants, whereas the noun form refers to the overall state of conflict. Because it is derived from the gerund of the verb "feud," the noun form is typically treated as an uncountable abstract concept referring to the process of quarreling.
