Thanks. I was starting to think it meant lost or wondering cloud but that makes no sense.
Where did you get the reading and meaning from, just out of curiosity? I have daijirin and wisdom dictionaries but it didn't turn up in either? I'm starting to think that there is a dictionary for old words.
To be honest I didn't get the reading from anywhere, I've just been learning so much vocab that I can often simply get a feeling for a word without looking it up. This time in particular I used context in combination with the fact that I immediately came to think of 暗雲低迷 to help me interpret the meaning. 音読み was simply the most likely candidate for the reading. Theoretically I guess it could also be pronounced よまいぐも or have some 当て字 reading, but I deemed the likelihood of that to be extremely low.
In other words, I used experience.
I bought the first part of the audiobook and you were right. (Not that I didn't believe you, I just wanted the audio book
