Usage Examples

Etymology

The noun *chieur* comes from the 19‑century French slang verb **chiquer** (“to bother, to annoy”). *Chiquer* itself is a derivative of the old French word *chi* (meaning “itch” or “irritation”), which can be traced back to Latin *cilium* (“eyelash”, the source of the feeling of itch). The agent suffix **‑eur** turns the verb into a noun, giving *chieur* – literally “the one who irritates, a nuisance”.
