English words that come close- 1. Gorge, binge 2. Glossitis 3. Photoclastic 4. Insouciance 5. Overmorrow 6. Fixings 7. Bucolic, halcyon 8. Lethonomia 9. Moiety 10. Longing, yearning 11. Empathy 12. Caressing 13. Forbearance 14. Mom

This was just a mental exercise for me, only a few come close. Also, for those of you who don't know, the English word epicaricacy means "derivation of pleasure from the misfortunes of others."
