undowish
/ˈʌndəʊˌwɪʃ/nounVerified NewThe reflexive, unfulfillable wish for an undo command in physical life.
The gesture is real: fingers twitch toward an undo that is not there, after the spilled cup or the sentence already spoken. Undowish is the keyboard's deepest lesson leaking into the world — that actions are provisional and someone, somewhere, keeps a previous state.
Etym. — *undo* + *wish*; the desire for reversibility as a named reflex.
