obstreperous ub-STREP-ur-us; ob-, adjective:
1. Noisily and stubbornly defiant; unruly.
2. Noisy, clamorous, or boisterous.
(My Sweetie was obstreperous as a child… closer to definition number 2. )
Obstreperous derives from Latin obstrepere, “to make a noise, to clamor at or against; hence, to disturb, to interrupt by clamor,” from ob-, “toward, against” + strepere, “to make a loud noise.”
