Definition
The state or condition of being heartbroken; deep sorrow or despair caused by loss or disappointment in love.
Etymology
From 'brokenhearted' + -ness suffix forming abstract nouns. Combines 'broken' + 'heart' + '-edness' + '-ness' for a double suffix construction.
Kelly Says
In the psychology of emotions, 'brokenheartedness' is one of the few words that treats emotional pain as physically localized in the heart—a linguistic echo of how humans experience grief.
