Who knows, it might catch on with anglophone speakers, there are numerous references to it online. | |
| Jun 29, 2018 at 8:47 | comment | added | Mari-Lou A | For a moment I was thrilled at the idea of there being a "word" that came close to what I was seeking. Very close, and I would have accepted it too if I hadn't checked online (you didn't provide a link). Instead, anemoia is a nonce word, created by John Koenig, for words that describe emotions and experiences that have no established terms. | |
