This is what the root word means (Merrimack-webster)<br /><br />“The Greek word pathos means "suffering," "experience," or "emotion." It was borrowed into English in the 16th century, and for English speakers, the term usually refers to the emotions produced by tragedy or a depiction of tragedy. "Pathos" has quite a few kin in English. A "pathetic" sight moves us to pity. "Empathy" is the ability to feel the emotions of another. Though "pathology" is not literally "the study of suffering," it is "the study of diseases." You can probably guess at more relatives of "pathos." "Sympathy," "apathetic," "antipathy," "sociopath," and "psychopath" are a few.”<br /><br />Empathy is a developmental stage as children become “other” aware. And persons without empathy are challenged in relationships. <br /><br />I think there is a nuanced pop in that empathy is feeling the emotions and sympathy is feeling with. <br /><br />Interesting thought provoking.

And there is no greater gift to us as humans to have empathy for one another. All these words . . . Hmm.
