Strife

/straɪf/ noun

Definition

Angry disagreement or violent conflict between people or groups.

Etymology

From Old French 'estrif,' possibly from Germanic roots meaning to quarrel. It has meant bitter conflict or controversy since the Middle Ages.

Kelly Says

Shakespeare used 'strife' constantly to describe feuds, which is fitting because family grudges—like the Montagues and Capulets—can persist across centuries!
