How to use "Nuisance" in context?
In English, the word "nuisance" typically refers to an annoyance or harmful effect that is caused by something that is not desirable, such as noise, smoke, or dust. It can also refer to a person or thing that is annoying or troublesome.
Nuisances can be classified in many ways, but two common ways to think about them are by how disruptive they are and by how likely they are to cause problems. Disruptive nuisances are things that make it difficult or impossible for people to carry out their normal activities, while nuisance agents are things that are either harmful or offensive in nature.
