irritating
This term describes a state of friction, whether psychological or physiological. When applied to behavior or sounds, it suggests a persistent, grating quality that wears down a person's patience. It is generally less severe than "infuriating," implying a nagging annoyance rather than an explosive rage.
In a medical or dermatological sense, the word describes a chemical or physical trigger that disrupts the skin or mucous membranes. This usage is clinical and objective, focusing on the inflammatory response of the body rather than an emotional reaction.
Meanings
Causing annoyance, impatience, or slight anger.
