Arabic term or phrase: الغضاضة
كما بقي يشعر بالغضاضة لأن أفكاره لم يحتف بها في فرنسا

from http://www.aawsat.com/details.asp?section=4&issueno=11615&ar...

Hans Wehr says "fault/disgrace/blot" but I'm not sure it fits and wad thinking perhaps it meant "offended" or "upset".

Thank you

بشعر بالغضاضة
feel reprehensible


Explanation:
الغضاضة
reprehensible point , vice , fault , drawback , defect , imperfection , aberration , blot , flaw

I think the use of word غضاضة in this context is wrong. Probably غصة is what they have in mind
غصة:
glumness , sadness , solicitude , sorrow , melancholy , mournfulness , misery , blues , anxiety , anguish , heartache , dejection , uneasiness , dolor , grimness , gloominess , gloom , frowning , glower , frown , grief , glowering , a lump in the throat , low spirits , distress
