Malaise
Malaise is a feeling of general discomfort or uneasiness, an "out of sorts" feeling, often the first indication of an infection or other disease. Often defined in medicinal research as a "general feeling of being unwell".Colloquially, malaise has been referred to as "the creeping crud" (especially in reference to the malaise caused by communicable diseases such as
influenza and the
common cold). This usage may have originated in folk medicine, but it is adopted from the
French word meaning "discomfort," "feeling faint," "feeling sick."
