Academic word for “squabbler” [on hold]
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

If you can accept an adjective, perhaps contentious.

I think you are making a mistake in trying to find a synonym here that's academic sounding.

@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.
