"wistful" meaning in All languages combined

See wistful on Wiktionary

Adjective [English]

IPA: /ˈwɪstfəl/ Audio: LL-Q1860 (eng)-Vealhurl-wistful.wav [Southern-England] Forms: more wistful [comparative], most wistful [superlative]
Etymology: Presumably from *whistful, from whist (“silent”) + -ful, based on older wistly. It is implausible that it derives from wishful, the required sound change being wishful → *wisful → wistful, which could not occur in Modern English, particularly not with wishful continuing in use. However, the sense of “longing” appears to be influenced by wishful, making wistful an ambiguous poetic word.

  "etymology_text": "Presumably from *whistful, from whist (“silent”) + -ful, based on older wistly. It is implausible that it derives from wishful, the required sound change being wishful → *wisful → wistful, which could not occur in Modern English, particularly not with wishful continuing in use. However, the sense of “longing” appears to be influenced by wishful, making wistful an ambiguous poetic word.",
