Academic word for “squabbler” [on hold]












2















I'm looking for a word to use in an academic proposal that conveys the idea that the individuals are fighting, potentially violently, and immaturely (optional component of the meaning) and should be separated.
I found the word "squabblers" only, which isn't really suitable for academic language.



I'd be happy to receive hints (ideally British English words).



Best,
Ivo

    @KDog the word "foreign" is derived from Latin, as are the following: "phrase", "scientific" and "equivalent". Whereas "jargon" comes from French. There are many "foreign" words in that one simple, but silly rule you cited.
