traboulessome

Traboulessome is an adjective, primarily used in informal contexts, to describe something that is prone to causing trouble or annoyance. It suggests a tendency towards creating problems, difficulties, or complications. The word is not found in standard dictionaries and is considered a colloquialism.

The term is often used humorously or with a degree of exasperation to characterize inanimate objects, situations, or even abstract concepts that are behaving in an inconvenient or problematic manner. For example, one might describe a faulty piece of equipment as "traboulessome" if it frequently malfunctions. Similarly, a complex bureaucratic process could be deemed "traboulessome" due to its inherent difficulties.

While its etymology is unclear, the structure of the word suggests a combination of "trouble" and a suffix indicating a propensity or tendency, perhaps influenced by words like "burdensome." Its usage is largely confined to spoken language or informal written communication, and it would generally be out of place in formal writing or academic discourse. The understanding and application of "traboulessome" rely heavily on context and shared understanding among speakers.
