Nostalgia is a sentimentality for the past, typically for a period or place with happy personal associations. The word nostalgia is learned formation of a Greek compound, consisting of ?????? , meaning "homecoming", a Homeric word, and ????? , meaning "pain, ache", and was coined by a 17th-century medical student to describe the anxieties displayed by Swiss mercenaries fighting away from home. Described as a medical condition?a form of melancholy?in the Early Modern period, it became an important trope in Romanticism.
