Eunoia, meaning alertness of mind and will.

UT-7
|
The shortest word containing all five vowels exactly once is the six-letter EUNOIA, meaning alertness of mind an will (and also the title of a book by Canadian poet Christian Bok). However, it is not included in any major English dictionary.

Strictly speaking, eunoia means in a normal state of mind. Compare with "paranoia".
"Eu-" is occasionally used as a medical prefix for normal as in eupathy (a normal state), eupnoea (normal breathing) or euphony (harmonic sound).
