Angst

Angst, often confused with anxiety, is a transcendent emotion in that it combines the unbearable anguish of life with the hopes of overcoming this seemingly impossible situation. Without the important element of hope, then the emotion is anxiety, not angst. Angst denotes the constant struggle one has with the burdens of life that weighs on the dispossessed and not knowing when the salvation will appear.

An airplane crashes into the side of a remote snow-covered mountain; those passengers that worry about their lives without hopes of survival only face anxiety. In contrast, those passengers who worry about their lives with hopes of survival but do not know when the rescue party will arrive face angst.

In my angst, anger, and anguish, I lived and died. – M.O.A.

Anguisette

A word created by Jacqueline Carey (the author of the Kushiel's Legacy series), it essentially means "woman who enjoys pain", stemming from "anguish" and the "-ette" suffix makes it sound more French.

A true "anguisette" is extremely rare. They are born to find pleasure in pain.
