disconsolate
含义: Deeply unhappy and beyond comfort; unable to be cheered or consoled.
Disconsolate is a literary word that emphasises the futility of any attempt at consolation — the grief or disappointment is too profound to be alleviated. It is more elevated in register than 'miserable' and implies a visible, affecting sadness. Common collocations include 'utterly disconsolate,' 'a disconsolate figure,' and 'disconsolate at the loss.' The adverb 'disconsolately' is also frequently encountered.
