Usage Note
Troublant describes something that creates unease or confusion, often by defying expectations — a troubling resemblance, an unsettling silence. The feminine form is troublante. It derives from the verb troubler ('to disturb'), and is stronger in register than inquiétant, implying that something actively disrupts one's composure or certainty.
Examples
"Il y a une ressemblance troublante entre eux."
Natural Translation
