Definition
worrying or complaining about small, unimportant things in an annoying way.
Etymology
From the noun 'fuss,' likely from Low German or Dutch origins in the 1600s. The word possibly derives from a Dutch word meaning 'to bustle about.' It evolved to mean unnecessary worry or commotion over trivial matters.
Kelly Says
The word 'fuss' originally described the bustling activity of busy people, but over time people realized that all that bustling was often about nothing important—so it came to mean worrying over nothing!
