Linguistic Origin & Historical Etymology
The term combines 'teenage', originating from the suffix '-teen' combined with 'age' in the early 20th century, and 'angst', borrowed directly into English from German in the late 19th century meaning a feeling of deep anxiety or dread. Together, the compound phrase emerged in contemporary psychological and cultural discourse during the mid-to-late 20th century to describe the specific emotional turmoil experienced during adolescence.
