controversy |?käntr??v?rs?| noun ( pl. controversies ) disagreement, typically when prolonged, public, and heated: he sometimes caused controversy because of his forceful views | the announcement ended a protracted controversy. ORIGIN late Middle English: from Latin controversia, from controversus ‘turned against, disputed,’ from contro- (variant of contra- ‘against’) + versus, past participle of vertere ‘to turn.’
I am often amused when a heated controversy develops over issues of trivial importance. Some folk seem easily over wrought when triggered by imagined insinuations of personal insult.
