Froward

“Froward” (FROH-werd) – Old English for the opposite of toward – means contrary, not easily managed.

Example (as used by Oliver Goldsmith in his play The Good Natur’d Man): “Life at the greatest and best is but a froward child, that must be humoured and coaxed a little till it falls asleep, and then all the care is over.”
