Definizione monolingua


restive


Adjective

restive (comparative more restive, superlative most restive)


  1. Impatient under delay, duress, or control.
    • 1914, Bram Stoker, ""Draculas Guest"" in Draculas Guest and Other Weird Stories:
      The horses were now more restive than ever, and Johann was trying to hold them in.
    • 1960, P. G. Wodehouse, Jeeves in the Offing, chapter XV:
      “Hullo, Bobbie,” I said. “Hullo, Bertie,” she said. “Hullo, Upjohn,” I said. The correct response to this would have been “Hullo, Wooster”, but he blew up in his lines and merely made a noise like a wolf with its big toe caught in a trap. Seemed a bit restive, I thought, as if wishing he were elsewhere. Bobbie was all girlish animation. “Ive been telling Mr Upjohn about that big fish we saw in the lake yesterday, Bertie.” “Ah yes, the big fish.” “It was a whopper, wasnt it?” “Very well-developed.” “I brought him down here to show it to him.” “Quite right. Youll enjoy the big fish, Upjohn.” I had been perfectly correct in supposing him to be restive. He did his wolf impersonation once more. “I shall do nothing of the sort,” he said, and you couldnt find a better word than “testily” to describe the way he spoke. “It is most inconvenient for me to be away from the house at this time. I am expecting a telephone call from my lawyer.”
  2. Resistant of control; stubborn.
    • 1726, Jonathan Swift, Gullivers Travels, ch. 35:
      Yet I am of opinion, this defect arises chiefly from a perverse, restive disposition; for they are cunning, malicious, treacherous, and revengeful.
  3. Refusing to move, especially in a forward direction.
