      Why aren’t they called “homelust” or “wandersickness?”

        “Weh” means pain which is reflecting the feeling better.

          It is also an older way to express a longing of the heart for something, in this case home / unknown places respectively.

        The English “wanderlust” comes from the German Wanderlust more recently (1902). In German, Lust is related to the English “lust,” but it’s got less of a sensual connotation. “Homesickness” also comes from German (1798), but it was translated into English.
