Weltanschauung

It’s German for “a comprehensive conception or image of the universe and of humanity’s relation to it.” I love the word for many reasons:

1. Two letter “u”s. It looks AND sounds cool!
2. I really like the concept, and I think that it’s what a lot of people spend their lives searching for. I do, at least.
3. I like that German has a single specific word for this concept, and I wish that English had it’s own as well, one more descriptive and less hyphenated than “world-view”.
