Disagreeable

/ˌdɪsəˈɡriːəbəl/ adjective

Definition

Unpleasant, unfriendly, or not to one's liking; causing discomfort or displeasure.

Etymology

From 'dis-' (opposite of) plus 'agreeable' (from Latin 'ad-' and 'gratus,' pleasing). Emerged in English around the 17th century to describe things that don't please or people who are unfriendly.

Kelly Says

Disagreeable weather, disagreeable people, disagreeable tasks—the word extends Latin's 'gratus' (grateful/pleasing) into all directions with the 'dis-' prefix. It's a word that assumes everything should be judged by whether it pleases you.
