Wildredwil-drid
adj. Feeling the haunting solitude of extremely remote places--a clearing in the forest, a windswept field of snow, a rest area in the middle of nowhere-- which makes you feel like you've just intruded on a conversation that had nothing to do with you, where even the gravel beneath your feet and the trees overhead are holding themselves back to a pointed, inhospitable silence.
Etymology
From wild + dread. Pronounced “wil-drid.”
