PANG Meaning and
Definition
-
Pang is a noun that can refer to a sudden and sharp, often severe, feeling of physical or emotional discomfort or distress. It is commonly associated with a brief, intense sensation or spasm of pain. In terms of physical pain, a pang can manifest as a sharp, stabbing or cramping sensation experienced in various parts of the body, such as the abdomen, chest, or head.
Additionally, pang can also describe emotional discomfort or distress, often characterized by a sudden wave of sadness, longing, or regret. It emphasizes the intensity and suddenness of the emotional distress, usually resulting from a poignant memory, a feeling of loss or separation, or a yearning for something/someone.
The term is frequently used to describe temporary or fleeting experiences of discomfort or pain rather than long-lasting or chronic conditions. It captures the essence of a brief, often sharp and intense sensation that may occur spontaneously or unexpectedly. Primarily, a pang denotes a strong sensation that is both brief and urgent, prompting immediate attention or reaction. It is a succinct and vivid word used to express the intensity and abruptness of physical or emotional pain or distress.

Etymology of PANG
The word "pang" originated from the Old English word "pancian", which means "to have a sensation of pain or distress". This Old English word is derived from the Proto-Germanic word "pankōną", meaning "to prick" or "to pierce". The Proto-Germanic term, in turn, can be traced back to the Proto-Indo-European root word "peng", which also means "to strike" or "to pierce". Over time, the word evolved and gained its current meaning of a sudden or sharp feeling of pain or distress.
