The feeling of annoyance when you have to wait for something or someone, or lack of tolerance.
From the prefix 'im-' (not) combined with 'patience' from Latin 'patiens' meaning 'suffering or enduring.' It literally means 'not enduring.'
Impatience is sometimes a sign of intelligence—studies show intelligent people often fidget and show more impatience because their brains process information faster and they're waiting for slower external events, though impatience can also make people reckless.
