    “Feierverschwindungsgefühl”

    Technically, that is a word in German, it means “feeling of celebration enshrinkening”. Might not be very popular, but it follows the rules 😉

        Well, it would come from “ver- schwind -en -ung”, so the closest translation to English might be something like “for-dwindling”… but the English “for-” seems to have lost some of the versatility of the German “ver-”, so the closest modern word that comes to mind is using the “shrink” meaning of “schwinden”, and translate as “enshrinkening”. Ultimately they’d all be synonyms.
