Ergoter

- Dénominal de ergot, petit doigt surmonté d’un ongle pointu qui sert au combat chez les oiseaux mâles.

-(1534) Du latin ergo (« donc ») dont les docteurs scolastiques faisaient grand usage, souvent à vide. On le retrouve dans le fameux cogito (Cogito ergo sum) de Descartes, dans un tout autre contexte.

♦Contester quelque chose avec des raisonnements spécieux ; discuter sur des futilités ; chicaner

♦Contredire quelqu'un avec une obstination lassante sur des minuties en lui opposant des arguments excessivement subtils et captieux

Ergotage, subst. masc.Manie, action d'ergoter; arguties.

Ergoterie, subst. fém.Ergotage. Savez-vous bien que le bon sens militaire s'offense de ces sortes d'ergoteries? Tu n'aimes pas, tu n'aimes pas! Qu'est-ce que ces ergotages?

chicaner (vieux) - chinoiser (familier) - chipoter (familier) - disputailler - pointiller - ratiociner (littéraire) - vétiller
