Syn :
To vex ;
harass :
annoy ;
disturb ;
irritate ;
plague ;
torment ;
mortify ;
tantalize ;
chagrin .
Usage : {
Tease }, {
Vex }.
To tease is literally to pull or scratch ,
and implies a prolonged annoyance in respect to little things ,
which is often more irritating ,
and harder to bear ,
than severe pain .
Vex meant originally to seize and bear away hither and thither ,
and hence ,
to disturb ;
as ,
to vex the ocean with storms .
This sense of the term now rarely occurs ;
but vex is still a stronger word than tease ,
denoting the disturbance or anger created by minor provocations ,
losses ,
disappointments ,
etc .
We are teased by the buzzing of a fly in our eyes ;
we are vexed by the carelessness or stupidity of our servants .
[
1913 Webster ]
Not by the force of carnal reason ,
But indefatigable teasing . --
Hudibras .
[
1913 Webster ]
In disappointments ,
where the affections have been strongly placed ,
and the expectations sanguine ,
particularly where the agency of others is concerned ,
sorrow may degenerate into vexation and chagrin . --
Cogan .
[
1913 Webster ]
{
Tease tenon } (
Joinery ),
a long tenon at the top of a post to receive two beams crossing each other one above the other .
