In Spanish añoranza comes from the verb añorar {to feel nostalgia}, which comes from the Catalan enyorar, itself derived from the Latin word ignorare {to be unaware of, not know, not experience; to lack or miss}, In that etymological light nostalgia seems something like the pain of ignorance, of not knowing. You are far away, and I don't know what has become of you. My country is far away, and I don't know what is happening there
( Milan Kundera )
