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.
