a vague feeling of worry
A light but constant feeling of worry or nervousness, often when you think something may be wrong or may go wrong.
用法パターン：
feel uneasiness about [something]
よくある間違い：
Learners sometimes use *uneasiness* when they mean simple physical lack of comfort, where *discomfort* or *inconvenience* would be more natural (e.g., "the uneasiness of this chair" sounds odd; better: "the discomfort of this chair"). They also confuse it with strong fear; in many cases *fear* or *anxiety* may be better if the feeling is intense rather than mild.
類義語
anxiety (Often stronger and more clinical; can suggest a medical condition, while "uneasiness" is usually milder and vaguer.)
|
disquiet (Slightly more formal and literary; often used for serious or widespread concern.)
|
apprehension (Focuses more on fear about something in the future; "uneasiness" can be more general.)
対義語
