I came across this one today. It comes from 'elegy'. Another definition calls it wistfully mournful, which I liked
The book I read it in was describing a poem in which "she sees the woman she‘s in love with sitting next to a man, and admires his composure. Because she knows if she were the one sitting next to the woman, she would be at a loss for words."
I've been reading a lot more poetry this month so I appreciate this new word
