Ennui (on-WEE, ON-wee), noun Listlessness and dissatisfaction resulting from lack of interest; boredom. [French, from Old French enui, from ennuier, to annoy, bore, from Vulgar Latin *inodiare, from Latin in odio (esse), (to be) odious : in, in. + odio, ablative of odium, hate.] WORD HISTORY: Were they alive today, users of Classical Latin might be surprised to find that centuries later a phrase of theirs would still survive, although in the form of a single word. The phrase mihi in odio est (literally translated as "to me in a condition of dislike or hatred is"), meaning "I hate or dislike," gave rise to the Vulgar Latin verb -inodiare, "to make odious," the source of Modern French ennuyer, "to annoy, bore." In the Old French period a noun meaning "worry, boredom," came from the verb ennuier. This noun in its Modern French form ennui was borrowed into English in the sense "boredom," the English word being first recorded in 1732. People may have needed a word for boredom in the polite, cultivated world of the 18th century, but at an earlier period, around 1275, we had already borrowed the French verb ennuier, the source of our word annoy.
