annoyed
UK: əˈnɔɪd | US: əˈnɔɪd
adj. feeling irritated or slightly angry
vt. (past tense of "annoy") caused someone to feel irritated
The word "annoy" traces back to Old French enuier (modern ennuyer), meaning "to weary or vex," derived from Latin inodiare ("to make hateful"), from in odio ("hated"). The suffix -ed marks the past participle form, indicating a state resulting from the action (e.g., being irritated). Over time, "annoy" retained its core sense of irritation, while -ed standardized as a grammatical marker in English.
