Why “endolour” is a great word
ENDOLOUR — [Verb] To render dolorous; to cause to be tormented by profound sorrow. From the French verb endolorir, itself formed from the prefix en- (meaning 'to cause to be') and the noun douleur (meaning 'pain, sorrow'), which derives from Latin dolor ('pain, grief'). Unlike "aggrieve," which implies a formal or legal wrong, or "lament," which denotes the outward cry, to endolour is to instill a deep, silent, interior ache. It is the grey light that hollows a room after a final departure, the specific weight of an unsent letter in a drawer, the slow settling of dust in a silenced house—the quiet engineering of a heart’s unspoken winter.
