Compassion

🎴

"feeling of sorrow or pity excited by the sufferings or misfortunes of another," mid-14c., compassioun, literally "a suffering with another," from Old French compassion "sympathy, pity" (12c.), from Late Latin compassionem(nominative compassio) "sympathy," noun of state from past participle stem of compati "to feel pity," from com"with, together" + pati "to suffer".

来自拉丁 "compassio"，它是由 "com-" 和 "pati" 组成的。

1. "com-": 这个前缀在拉丁文中意为 "together"（一起）或 "with"（与）。
2. "pati": 这是一个动词，意为 "to suffer"（受苦）。

"compassion" 字面上的意思是 "to suffer with"（与...共受苦痛）。这为该词的现代含义提供了基础，即对他人的痛苦或困境表示深切的关心和同情。
