Definitions

  1. To annoy, bother, or trouble someone repeatedly.

Word origin

In the senses of “overcrowd (a place)” and “impede (a person)”: from Middle French and Old French empestrer (“encumber”), influenced by English pest. The modern sense is an extension of the sense “infest”. Comparable to English construction pest + -er (used to form frequentative verbs).

Used in a sentence

  • He pestered me with questions.
  • She pestered him to help her.
  • By now I presumed I had become a real pester.
