Commentary
The most contentious thing is that which gives rise to argument. If you separate it one by one, it is dispute and vain contention. The word 'contentious' is used here as a distinguishing term, meaning that a person's contention is more than that of anything else. Similar to this is the saying: 'And when he is a clear adversary.'
