Trouble, difficulty, or annoyance caused by something that is not suitable or doesn't work well.
From Latin 'inconveniens,' combining 'in-' (not) and 'conveniens' (suitable, fitting). The word literally means 'not fitting together well' or 'unsuitable.'
The word 'inconvenience' is hilariously British in its understatement—the British used it during WWII to describe the Blitz and bombing campaigns, turning genuine catastrophe into a mild frustration through language.
