词源etymology
德语 fern（远）＋ Weh（痛）——「远方之痛」， 照着 Heimweh（乡愁：Heim 家 ＋ Weh 痛）一字一字反着造出来的。
German fern (far) + Weh (ache) — “far-ache,” built letter for letter as the mirror of Heimweh (Heim home + Weh ache), homesickness.
背景the story
1835 年，旅行作家皮克勒–穆斯考侯爵（Hermann von Pückler-Muskau，笔名 Semilasso）在书里写道： 他从不害乡愁，害的是它的反面——Fernweh。这个词就此见于书面。
值得一提的是它反的那个词：Heimweh 比它早了近两个世纪，17 世纪的瑞士医生把雇佣兵的思乡 当作病症研究，还给它起了个拉丁学名——nostalgia。先有病名，才有反义： 德语先承认「想家是病」，然后才有人承认「想远方也是」。
In 1835 the travel writer Prince Hermann von Pückler-Muskau — writing as “Semilasso” — noted that he never suffered from homesickness, but from its opposite: Fernweh. The word has been in print since.
The word it mirrors deserves its footnote: Heimweh is nearly two centuries older — in the 17th century a Swiss physician studied mercenaries’ homesickness as a disease and gave it a Latin name, nostalgia. First the illness was named, then its opposite: German admitted that missing home is a sickness, and only later that missing the far away is one too.

汉语有「乡愁」，却没给它的反面单独立词——最近的现成话是一句口语诊断：「心野了」。 差别在人称：「心野了」是长辈说你；Fernweh 是自己认领。 一个是被指出的毛病，一个是随身携带的体质。
Chinese has 乡愁 for homesickness but never minted its opposite — the nearest ready phrase is a spoken diagnosis: 心野了, “your heart has gone feral.” The difference is grammatical person: 心野了 is what your elders say about you; Fernweh is what you claim for yourself. One is a fault pointed out, the other a constitution carried.
She kept a packed toiletry bag by the door for no trip in particular; Fernweh has its rituals. 自拟例句 our own example, not a quotation Every departures board gives him Fernweh — all those city names, each one a life not chosen. 自拟例句 our own example, not a quotation 德语真词（Duden 在录）。 英语写作里作外来词：斜体 Fernweh，首字母大写。 比 wanderlust 安静——wanderlust 想上路，Fernweh 是坐在原地疼。
A real German word (in the Duden). As a loanword in English: italicize Fernweh, capital F. Quieter than wanderlust — wanderlust wants to hit the road; Fernweh sits still and aches.
