mournsuet
adjective
The wear of years, like layers of wax added one summer evening at a time, wrapped its final lacquer, and the hopeful part of me surrendered—replaced by a heart burdened with sorrow and bitterness, retreating from its faith in the world's goodness.
Blend of English 'mourn' and 'suet' (a type of fat, symbolizing dense accumulation), describing the heavy layering of sorrow. Pronounced "MORN-sweht"
