alacrimorality

n.

The social expectation that doing the right thing reluctantly somehow counts less than wanting to do it.

A blend of alacrity, from Latin alacritās (“liveliness, ardour, eagerness”), from alacer (“lively, eager, cheerful”), and morality, via Old French moralité from Late Latin mōrālitās, from Latin mōrālis (“pertaining to manners or conduct”), ultimately from mōs (genitive mōris; plural mōrēs, “custom, manner, conduct”). Literally, “morality judged by alacrity.”

Example Usage:

A: “I apologised to him.”

P: “Only after grumbling for twenty minutes.”

A: “Was it the right thing to do?”

P: “Yes.”

A: “Then kindly spare me the alacrimorality.”
