A feeling of weariness and disgust; dullness and languor of spirits, arising from satiety or want of interest; tedium.

Boredom may come and go, but ennui [from the Latin word for "hatred of life itself"] is a totalizing force which judges the world... and finds it unspeakably tedious. To be ennuyé is to be paralyzed by apathy and disgust, but simultaneously nerve-ridden by over-stimulated sensations. To the over-sophisticated urbanite, each tick of the clock can seem to say, as it did to Baudelaire: "I am life, intolerable, implacable life!" See: ACEDIA, APATHETIC, BLASÉ, BORED, LACKADAISICAL, LETHARGIC, SPLEEN.

(F), boredom.
