disquietude
Restless mental state
Disquietude is a state of unease or anxiety—a more literary and formal term than simple worry.
It suggests a persistent, low-level disturbance of mind rather than acute distress: A vague disquietude settled over him as he waited for news.
The word implies restlessness, an inability to feel at peace.
