to do

Quite a fuss

To do is a task or commotion, often implying fuss or effort.

A to-do list itemizes things needing attention.

A to-do can also mean an uproar or disturbance: There was quite a to-do when the neighbors complained.

The hyphenated spelling is standard for the noun; without the hyphen, it's simply the infinitive verb.
