I think it was Wittgenstein, among others, who stated you can't really experience what you can't formulate with words, "the limit of your language is the limit of your world". But all mystics would disagree with that idea, and I think even he changed his mind later in life.
So the opposite of this would be, most, maybe all, human experiences are strictly ineffable and language is just a crude approach necessary for the only primitive communication humans can afford. So a word for your particular feeling would be impossible, even if some could get closer than others, unless you invented one, but then you would be unable to convey the true meaning to others, therefore it would be "lost in translation" forever.
