If you fuss, you worry or behave in a nervous, anxious way about unimportant matters or rush around doing unnecessary things. Carol fussed about getting me a drink My wife was fussing over the food and clothing we were going to take A team of waiters began fussing around the table `Stop fussing,' he snapped
Fuss is anxious or excited behaviour which serves no useful purpose. I don't know what all the fuss is about He just gets down to work without any fuss
If you fuss over someone, you pay them a lot of attention and do things to make them happy or comfortable. Auntie Hilda and Uncle Jack couldn't fuss over them enough
If you make a fuss or kick up a fuss about something, you become angry or excited about it and complain. I kick up a fuss if my wife wants to spend time alone
