unlust

Where it comes from

From Middle English unlust, from Old English unlust (“displeasure, dislike”), from Proto-West Germanic *unlust, from Proto-Germanic *unlustuz (“listlessness”). Equivalent to un- + lust.

noun unlusts

countable, rare, uncountable Displeasure; dislike. Poetry for me wove its own spell to secure me against all 'unlusts' - all criticisms - even against joylessness: I was set apart; in safety; as secure - in this way - as he. Who was in that audience, I wonder now? That all was success is certain.
countable, obsolete, uncountable listlessness; disinclination. We fynde in oure silves vnlust and tediousnes to do good.
