Notes on Meaning

The word roiled connects a physical state of turbulence with an emotional state of agitation. The primary image is of water being stirred up, which is then applied metaphorically to a person's feelings. It is more vivid and intense than simply being "annoyed," often implying a deeper, more churning disturbance.
