Ennuie

About Me


ennui
Listlessness and dissatisfaction resulting from lack of interest; boredom: The servants relieved their ennui with gambling and gossip about their masters (John Barth).
dictionary.com
"The phrase mihi in odi est, meaning I hate or dislike, gave rise to the Vulgar Latin verb inodire, to make odious, the source of the Old French verb ennuyer or anoier, to annoy, bore. This was borrowed into English by around 1275 as anoien, our annoy. From the Old French verb a noun meaning worry, boredom was derived, which became ennui in modern French. This noun, with the sense boredom, was borrowed into English in the 18th century, perhaps filling a need in polite, upper class society.Ennui is different from boredom in that ennui describes weariness or annoyance over a long period of time; boredom is relieved easily, while ennui is constant."
