What part of speech is “exasperated”

exasperated is an adjective that is used to describe a person or thing that is feeling or showing intense annoyance or despair. It can also refer to something that has caused an intense feeling of frustration.

1. 'The exasperated student was ready to give up on the test.'

2. 'The exasperated teacher felt overwhelmed by the extra workload.'

3. 'The exasperated customers became visibly angry when the store was out of stock.'

Exasperated should be used sparingly as an adjective to emphasize the feeling of frustration and not to simply describe any situation that was far from ideal.
