342: sympathy Nov 15, 2015

'Sympathy' comes from the Greek word, 'sum' meaning 'with' or 'together' and 'pathos' which means 'feeling', but more often it related to suffering. Although this word can mean pity at someone else's sorrow or misfortune, it has more to do with shared emotion between people.
