Linguistic Origin & Historical Etymology
Derived from the German word 'Einfühlung' (meaning 'feeling into'), which was coined in 1858 by Rudolf Lotze to describe the emotional appreciation of an art work. It was translated into English in 1909 by psychologist Edward Titchener as 'empathy', drawing from the Greek root 'pathos' (feeling, passion) and the prefix 'en-' (in).
