Day 2: Word Prompt: Amoransia
Portuguese amor, love + ânsia, craving.
Pronounced “ah-moh-ran-see-uh.”
n. the melodramatic thrill of unrequited love; the longing to pine for someone you can never have, wallowing in devotion to some impossible person who could give your life meaning by their very absence.
Taken from The Dictionary of Obscure Sorrows by John Koenig
