It's the exact word they use for one of the signs of depression. You may want to look into that. Things can be better.

“Home, home on the range,
Where the deer and the antelope play,
Where seldom is heard a discouraging word,
And the skies are not cloudy all day.”

"Adventitious" is a good word. It means:

  1. Arising from an external cause or factor; not inherent.
  2. Of or belonging to a structure that develops in an unusual place. "adventitious roots."
  3. Added extrinsically; not essentially inherent; accidental or causal; additional; supervenient; foreign.

I thought frigorific was a term for a mixture of chemicals that stays at a constant temperature. Never heard of the other definition, interesting.
