    res·tive
    [ˈrestiv]
    adjective
    restive (adjective)
    1. (of a person) unable to keep still or silent and becoming increasingly difficult to control, especially because of impatience, dissatisfaction, or boredom:
      "the crowd had been waiting for hours and many were becoming restive" · "he reiterated his determination to hold the restive republics together"
      • (of a horse) refusing to advance, stubbornly standing still or moving backward or sideways:
        "both their horses became restive at once"
    Origin
    late Middle English (as restif): from Old French restif, -ive, from Latin restare ‘remain’. The original sense, ‘inclined to remain still’, has undergone a reversal; the association with the stubborn behavior of a horse gave rise to the current sense ‘restless’.
