Emotions Words

English has more words for emotions than most people use. There's a difference between "sadness" and "melancholy," between "fear" and "dread," between "happiness" and "euphoria." The precise word changes the meaning. This is one of the larger collections on the site because human emotional experience turns out to be complex enough to need all these terms.
