Fratcheous

/fræˈʧəs/ adjective

Definition

A rare or invented adjective form meaning inclined to fratch, quarrelsome, or complainy in character.

Etymology

Hypothetical formation from 'fratch' with the -eous suffix (as in 'courteous,' 'righteous'), unlikely to appear in actual historical texts.

Kelly Says

This word probably doesn't exist in real usage, but it shows how creative English speakers can be—the -eous suffix is so common (quarrelsome, peaceful) that you could invent 'fratcheous' and any English speaker would immediately understand what you meant!
