aggravation
Noun
This term describes a process of intensification, typically regarding something negative. When applied to a medical condition or a conflict, it suggests a worsening of the state, shifting it from manageable to severe. In a psychological sense, it refers to the state of being irritated. It differs from simple anger by implying a cumulative effect, where repeated small annoyances build up into a state of exasperation.
