aan·wee
Ennui, which in French denotes boredom in the sense of a lack of stimulation and a feeling of unhappiness, particularly in terms of intellectual matters, It is distinct from the kind of boredom a child could experience and is more closely related to existential distress, sense of meaninglessness, and emptiness brought on by this emotion.
Charles Baudelaire, a French poet, explored the idea of ennui in depth in his collection of poems titled Les fleurs du mal, which helped bring the term to prominence in the English-speaking world.
