Answer

Weltschmerz is the German word for world-weariness. It is a feeling of sadness and disillusionment with the world, often caused by the realization that the world is not as perfect as one had hoped. It can also be a feeling of hopelessness or despair. Weltschmerz is often associated with Romanticism, a literary and artistic movement that began in the late 18th century.
