Melancholia is a mood disorder of non-specific depression, characterized by low levels of enthusiasm and low levels of eagerness for activity. In a modern context, "melancholy" applies only to the mental or emotional symptoms of depression or despondency; historically, "melancholia" could be physical as well as mental.

In many cases melancholy is just the technical name for wishing we could do it all again---and maybe form a different ending.

Good question. To me it means the state of feeling the lack of satisfying some unrequited desire that results in sadness, and the feeling of inadequacy.
