Peeve: To cause to be annoyed or resentful.
I don't know it's origin....but I can understand why the term 'pet' peeve was brought into being.... Pet: An object of the affections. It's an oxymoron if I've ever seen one...lol |

1393, peyvesshe "perverse, capricious, silly," of uncertain origin, possibly modeled on L. perversus "reversed, perverse," pp. of pervertere "to turn about" (see pervert).
Meaning "cross, fretful" first recorded c.1530. The verb peeve is a 1908 back-formation; pet peeve "the thing that provokes one most" is first attested 1919. |
