English term or phrase: grating
Testo:
" Satie, however, had characteristically miscalculated conflicts inherent with the group:
their attraction to him was obviously not borne out of kindness alone, for they revered
his music and, indeed, the man himself, however *** grating and starkly idiosyncratic****
this imperfect personality could often be."

Grazie.

agree  Glinda: irritante va bene, però qui non lo interpreto nel senso di persona acida, ma di qualcuno di proprio fastidioso, dalla personalità bizzarra quale era in effetti Satie
