Pronunciation: Rez-ig-nell-ayshon

Sentence: Robert had worked for the same bank for twenty-one years, doing the same thing day in day out. He never really wanted the job in the first place but his parents pushed him into it when he was younger, wanting him to follow in his father's footsteps. Now that he had finally found the courage to hand in his notice, the feeling of resignelation was overwhelming. He had already book his ticket to Australia, as the next few years of his life were going to be spent travelling around the world with no plans and best of all, no-one to answer to.

Etymology: Resign (leave voluntarily, of a job,post or position.) + Elation (an exhilarating psychological state of joy and optimism.) + Resignation (a formal document giving notice of intent to resign.) = Resignelation
