disquieted
Feeling vaguely troubled
Disquieted means troubled, uneasy, or anxious—a state of mental disturbance that falls short of outright fear but exceeds mild concern.
It suggests a nagging unease: She was disquieted by his long silence.
The word carries a slightly formal or literary tone, more measured than worried or upset.
