Schadenfreude (/ˈʃɑːdənfrɔɪdᵊ/; German: [ˈʃaːdn̩ˌfʁɔɪdə]) is pleasure derived from the misfortunes of others.
This word is taken from German and literally means "harm-joy".
It is the feeling of joy or pleasure when one sees another fail or suffer misfortune.
It is also borrowed by some other languages. An English term of similar meaning (but with no noun equivalent) is "to gloat"; which means to feel, or express, great, often malicious, pleasure, or self-satisfaction, at one's own success, or at another's failure.
