What is another word for "irritated?"

Answer by  patti (29325)

It can mean annoyed, bugged, rubbed the wrong way (figuratively), chafed (literally or figuratively), unnerved, upset, fed up. "Irritated" can also refer to a physical condition, like irritated skin or an irritated injury. "Aggravated" is not a synonym for "irritated." "Aggravate" is to make something worse, so once it is irritated, it then can be aggravated.
