意味

Irritating; infuriating; provoking; maddening. Describes something that makes one feel deeply angry or exasperated.

An i-adjective derived from 腹が立つ (literally 'the stomach rises' — the Japanese expression for becoming angry) with the adjectival suffix しい. Expresses a stronger, more internalised form of anger than 腹立ち (a noun form). Often used to describe situations rather than people, and implies the anger is justified.
