In Czech we don’t say “to hug somebody/something” we say “uškrtit” which loosely translates to “to wrap one in oneself” and I think that’s beautiful.

Weltschmerz
Noun
[velt-shmerts]
1. German. sorrow that one feels and accepts as one’s necessary portion in life; sentimental pessimism.
Origin: Weltschmerz comes from German Welt “world” and Schmerz “pain” (related to English smart “pain”). Weltschmerz is associated with 19th century Romanticism and was coined by the German Romantic writer Jean Paul, the pen name of Jean Paul Friedrich Richter (1763-1825), in his novel Selina (1827). English uses the standard German spelling and the pronunciation of w as v, but English has had the alternative spelling Weltschmertz for about as long a time. Weltschmerz entered English in the 19th century.
“Cohen confused his mood with his chronic weltschmerz. He spoke at great length on the vicissitudes of a sensitive spirit, his dissatisfaction, the inadequacy of this sphere as far as he was concerned.” - Daniel Fuchs, Summer in Williamsburg, 1934
