Vexed

/vɛkst/ adjective

Definition

Feeling annoyed, frustrated, or troubled by something persistent or difficult to resolve. It suggests ongoing irritation rather than sudden anger.

Etymology

From Latin 'vexare' meaning 'to shake, agitate, or harass'. The word originally described physical disturbance before evolving to describe mental or emotional agitation in the 14th century.

Kelly Says

Vexation is particularly exhausting because it represents chronic stress activation! Unlike acute anger, being vexed keeps your stress hormones elevated over time, which is why persistent annoyances can be more draining than single dramatic events.
