Angosis

n.
the malaise that results from having unlimited access to something, which only seems to drain away its value—a cheat code that ruins the game, a camera that holds a million random snapshots, or having so much free time that all your goals dissolve in it.

Maori ango, open + Latin angō, I cause pain or distress. Pronounced “ang-goh-sis.”
