Ambitendent

/ˌæmbɪtɛnˈdɛnt/ adjective

Definition

Tending or inclining in two opposite directions at once; experiencing or showing conflicting tendencies simultaneously.

Etymology

From Latin 'ambi-' (both) + 'tendent' (present participle of 'tendere', to stretch toward). A descriptive term for internal conflict or ambivalence.

Kelly Says

When someone is ambitendent, they're literally being pulled in two directions—linguistically, the word perfectly captures that physical sensation of being torn between choices!
