The word for today is…
fractious (adjective):
: tending to be troublesome
Source : Merriam -Webster
Etymology : The Latin verb frangere means “to break or shatter” and is related to a few common words, which is evident in their meanings. Dishes that are fragile break easily. A person whose health is easily broken might be described as frail. A fraction is one of the many pieces into which a whole can be broken. But fraction also once meant “disharmony” or “discord”—that is, a “rupture in relations.” From this noun sense came the adjective fractious.
