angor

PRONUNCIATION:
(ANG-guhr) http://wordsmith.org/words/angor.mp3

MEANING:  noun: Extreme anguish or mental distress.

ETYMOLOGY:  If you’ve ever been so angry, or so anguished, that you felt choked you’ve personally experienced the origin of this term. It comes from Latin angor (strangling, suffocation, mental distress), from angere (to squeeze). Ultimately from the Indo-European root angh- (tight, suffocating, painful), which also gave us anger, anguish, anxious, angst, angina, and hangnail. Earliest documented use: 1440.

It is not that I don’t have the tools

or that I don’t know the way

It is just that I have lost all will

to do even one thing a day   ~~dru~~
