Chagrin is a noun that refers to a feeling of disappointment, embarrassment, annoyance, or mental distress caused by a failure, defeat, humiliation, or unexpected setback. It is often characterized by a sense of frustration and self-consciousness. The word "chagrin" is derived from the French language, where it literally means "grief" or "sorrow."
The term is commonly used to describe a particular emotional reaction that arises when one's expectations or desires are not met, leading to a sense of vexation or annoyance. It usually involves a feeling of being let down or humiliated, often resulting from a public or personal failure, mistake, or blunder.
Chagrin can manifest itself in various ways, such as experiencing embarrassment, blushing, feeling ashamed, or mentally berating oneself. It is frequently associated with situations where one's pride or reputation is at stake, causing them to feel frustrated or irritated.
The feeling of chagrin can be temporary, dissipating as one recovers and learns from the experience, or it can persist longer-term, leading to bitterness or resentment. It is often associated with an intense desire to redeem oneself or regain lost prestige.
In summary, chagrin refers to a state of disappointment, embarrassment, or mental distress resulting from failure, defeat, or humiliation. It is a complex emotional response that can have both short-term and long-term effects on an individual's self-esteem and mental well-being.

The word "chagrin" has its origins in the French language. It can be traced back to the Old French word "sagrine", which means "sadness" or "melancholy". The term "sagrine" itself is believed to have evolved from the Vulgar Latin word "sagra", meaning "sadness" or "grief". Over time, the term transformed into the modern French word "chagrin", which entered the English language during the early 17th century.
