憂鬱 (ゆううつ) uses the On'yomi for both kanji. 憂 (yū) means "sorrow" or "grief," and 鬱 (utsu) means "gloom" or "depression." Misreadings include reversing the kanji (うつゆう) or adding extra characters (ゆううつう). It describes a profound state of "melancholy" or "depression," a deep, heavy sadness.
憂鬱(ゆううつ)は、両漢字が音読みです。「憂」は「憂い」、「鬱」は「気がふさぐ」ことを表し、深く沈み込んだ「抑鬱状態、憂い」を意味します。誤読の「うつゆう」は漢字の順序が逆で、「ゆううつう」は不要な音です。気分がひどく落ち込み、晴れない状態を指します。
