Chagrin \Cha*grin"\, n. [F., fr. chagrin shagreen, a particular
kind of rough and grained leather; also a rough fishskin used
for graters and files; hence (Fig.), a gnawing, corroding
grief. See Shagreen.]
Vexation; mortification.
[1913 Webster]
I must own that I felt rather vexation and chagrin than
hope and satisfaction. --Richard
Porson.
[1913 Webster]
Hear me, and touch Belinda with chagrin. --Pope.
Syn: Vexation; mortification; peevishness; fretfulness;
disgust; disquiet.
Usage: Chagrin, Vexation, Mortification. These words
agree in the general sense of pain produced by
untoward circumstances. Vexation is a feeling of
disquietude or irritating uneasiness from numerous
causes, such as losses, disappointments, etc.
Mortification is a stronger word, and denotes that
keen sense of pain which results from wounded pride or
humiliating occurrences. Chagrin is literally the
cutting pain produced by the friction of Shagreen
leather; in its figurative sense, it varies in
meaning, denoting in its lower degrees simply a state
of vexation, and its higher degrees the keenest sense
of mortification. "Vexation arises chiefly from our
wishes and views being crossed: mortification, from
our self-importance being hurt; chagrin, from a
mixture of the two." --Crabb.
[1913 Webster]
