querulant Explanation: A querulant (from the Latin querulus - "complaining") is a person who obsessively feels wronged, particularly about minor about minor causes of action. A term to describe a person who repeatedly petitions governmental authorities or pursues legal actions based on manifestly unfounded grounds - and complains about petty offenses. Worse than a gadfly. |
