Describes the feeling of wanting but not currently having something or someone you had before. It particularly leans towards the more dreadful, lonely feeling of missing someone, instead of nostalgia.
It basically has the same meaning as "missing," but it's a noun.
This particular spelling is originated from Portuguese, but it also exists in Spanish and other Latin-derived languages.
Don't actually use it in an
English sentence though, it sounds hella
weird.
