nostauria
noun
Hiraeth is the sensation of missing a place or time that you identify as home, which might have vanished or never actually existed. It is a mix of yearning and wistfulness for a bygone era or imagined sanctuary.
Derived from Latin 'nostalgia' (a longing to return home) + Greek 'aura' (breeze or breath), suggesting a breath of longing for an unattainable home. Pronounced 'no-STAU-ree-ah'
