- 1易怒；煩躁
Irritability is the state of getting quickly or easily. If someone has high irritability today, small things set them off: a noise, a question, a slow computer. We talk about it with mood, tiredness, hunger, pain, and stress. Doctors may ask about irritability when they check how a person has been feeling. It names the quality, not one flash of anger. Though actually, in older science writing the same word can mean that living tissue reacts when something touches it — but almost always meet the easily meaning. It is a little more formal than just saying someone is in a bad mood.
組成From Latin irritabilitās; irritable + -ity (the -ity ending makes a noun: the quality of being irritable).
