GLOSSARY ENTRY (DERIVED FROM QUESTION BELOW)

Portuguese term or phrase: Desamor
Ha algum termo na lingua inglesa para expressar a ideia de "Desamor"?

Segundo o Aurlelio/Priberan, Desamor significa "Falta de amor devido; desafeição; desdém; ódio"

Procuro mais um termo para o primeiro significado, "Falta de amor devido", em vez de desafeto, uma vez que o Merrian-Webstrer define "Disaffection" como "to alienate the affection or loyalty of; to fill with discontent and unrest"

Muito Obrigado!

Unrequited love


Explanation:
Falta de amor devido
not reciprocated or returned in kind."

Unrequited love or one-sided love is love that is not openly reciprocated or understood as such by the beloved. The beloved may not be aware of the admirer's deep and strong romantic affection or consciously reject it. The Merriam Webster Online Dictionary defines unrequited as "not reciprocated or returned in kind."[
