What does “malaise” mean? Does it mean that I don’t feel well but do not know what the cause is?

How do I make a sentence with the word?

Thanks.

@tanguatlay,

Not quite. It's a word more associated with emotions (an existential crisis perhaps).

Quote:

Definition of malaise

1 : an indefinite feeling of debility or lack of health often indicative of or accompanying the onset of an illness
//An infected person will feel a general malaise.

2 : a vague sense of mental or moral ill-being
//a malaise of cynicism and despair

— Malcolm Boyd

Merriam Webster Dictionary
Gripping his rejection letter, the poet bit back tears while gazing out of his apartment window. Rainy days always filled his heart with malaise. This day was no different.

@tanguatlay,

Her malaise deepened,
As gray as the clouds,
And as the deepening snow.

I once had malaise over poached eggs. Delicious.
