wishword


an emotion, concept, or idea for which there is no proper word in the english language.

for example, schadenfreude is a german word which refers to pleasure at someone else’s pain. there is no equivalent of schadenfreude in the english language unless one borrows it in conversation (as loan-word). thus, the concept of schadenfreude would be a wishword in the english language.

person 2: i know what you mean. there’s gotta be a word for that feeling. what is it?

person 1: actually, i don’t think there is a word for it. it’s a wishword.
