(slang) Envy experienced toward friends.
(dialectal, Scotland) Showing the effects of much weeping; marred or swollen in the face through continued weeping.
A portmanteau of friend and envy — the specific jealousy you feel toward a friend who has something you want, whether it's a cooler job, a better relationship, more followers, or seemingly effortless success. Frienvy is the social-media era's name for a very old feeling: rooting for your friend while quietly resenting their wins. It's distinct from regular envy because the closeness makes it hit harder and feel guiltier.
