☆  linger  長引く

============================

When a feeling lingers, it continues to exist for a long time, usually longer than you expected. You can also talk about an illness or injury (such as a cold or sprained muscle) lingering on for longer than expected. Here are some example sentences:

She had talked to him about it, but her feelings of anger lingered.
He felt ashamed and the feeling lingered long after the event.
She had broken up with her boyfriend months ago, and so she couldn’t understand while her feelings towards him still lingered.
He knew it wasn’t his fault but he felt people still had feelings of blame lingering toward him.
