Word of the week! Rücckkehrunrhe

Rücckkehrunruhe


n. the feeling of returning home after an immersive trip only to find it fading rapidly from your awareness--to the extent you have to keep reminding yourself that it happened at all, even though it felt so vivid just days ago--which makes you wish you could smoothly cross-dissolve back into everyday life, or just hold the shutter open indefinitely and let one scene become superimposed on the next, so all your days would run together and you'd never have to call cut.

The Dictionary of Obscure Sorrows is a compendium of invented words written by John Koenig. Each original definition aims to fill a hole in the language—to give a name to emotions we all might experience but don’t yet have a word for.
