Discordful

/dɪsˈkɔɹdfəl/ adjective

Definition

Full of discord; characterized by disagreement or conflict; quarrelsome.

Etymology

From discord plus the -ful suffix, which means 'full of.' The construction is parallel to words like 'peaceful' (full of peace) or 'joyful' (full of joy).

Kelly Says

The -ful suffix is ancient and comes from Old English, used for over a thousand years to describe things brimming with a quality—which is why 'discordful' feels both poetic and somewhat old-fashioned!
