vexatiousness
State of aggravating
Vexatiousness is the quality of being annoying, frustrating, or aggravating.
The word appears most often in legal contexts, where vexatious litigation wastes court resources through frivolous or malicious claims: The judge dismissed the case due to its obvious vexatiousness.
Outside law, it describes anything characterized by persistent irritation.
