persnickety EnglishFrench Dictionary WordReferencecom
Fussy meaning is reasonably hard to grasp. It refers to someone who is immensely meticulous and fault-finding.
A persnickety individual tends to nitpick and sets the bar high when it comes to expectations and excellence. Their fastidious nature can be regarded as praiseworthy, but it can also intensify overly demanding criticism and avoidable dissatisfaction. Being persnickety is often connected with thorough focus on specifics but can also be seen as a manifestation of obsessiveness.
