Japanese[edit]

Alternative spelling
ウザッタい

Etymology[edit]

Compound of root *うざ (uza, as in adverb うざうざ (uzauza, evocative of lots of small things gathered and moving about in a place: “wrigglingly, writhingly, crawlingly”, or of the sound that might be made from this: “chatteringly, chitteringly, susurratingly)) +‎ たい (tai, adjective-forming suffix derived from いたい (itai, “painful”)). Likely originated in the Edo (now Tokyo) area and then spread.

The first citation for うざったい (uzattai) is currently unclear, but this likely arose around the same time as synonym and related term うざっこい (uzakkoi), which is first cited to 1770.[1]
