triste
/ˈtɾiste/ · A2 · adj
sad, saddened, blue, gloomy, unhappy, joyless, triste
😢 triste = root of English tristful; from Latin tristis, sad
From Latin tristis (sad, gloomy). French keeps it as triste, and English borrowed tristesse and the rare tristful. Sound hook: TREES-teh, like a tryst that ended badly, leaving you sad.
