Strife

noun/STRYFE/

Angry disagreement or fighting between people or groups.

Endless strife between the siblings made family dinners very tense.

Strife sounds like 'strive' but with a fight — people striving against each other instead of together.

Use for serious conflict or bitter arguing, not just a small disagreement.
