Midlife Made-Up Word Mash-Up in Portugal

If you’re a regular reader here or on my Instagram page, you know I like to make up words. Before I moved to Portugal in 2022, I featured Monday’s Midlife Made-Up Word here every week. Now, tune in the last Friday of every month for a made-up word mashed together from Portuguese, or an English and Portuguese combo. This sometimes happens unintentionally as I continue to learn to speak Portuguese.

Felidoçura

Today’s made-up word is felidoçura (n): A sense of pure happiness with the sweetness of life.

Derived from “feliz” (Portuguese for happy) and “doçura” (Portuguese for sweetness).

Felidoçura spirit in midlife and beyond.

Thank you for reading! ❤️ May you find your version of felidoçura wherever you are.
