snaggy

Snaggy refers to a characteristic or quality of being full of snags. A snag can be defined as a branch or portion of a tree that has broken off but remains attached to the trunk or a larger branch. In a more general sense, a snag can also be a sharp projection, a hitch, or an obstruction that can catch or impede something. Therefore, something that is snaggy might be rough, uneven, or have numerous protruding elements that tend to catch or hold onto things. This term is often used to describe natural surfaces like tree bark or rough terrain, but can also be applied metaphorically to situations or processes that are difficult to navigate due to unexpected obstacles or complications. For example, a snaggy path might be difficult to walk on, and a snaggy negotiation could be challenging due to unforeseen disagreements. The word implies a degree of difficulty or resistance caused by these catching points.
