Nguồn gốc từ

A twentieth-century borrowing from Ancient Greek ἐμπάθεια (formed from ἐν (in, at) + πάθος (feeling)), equivalent to em- + -pathy, Edward Bradford Titchener, 1909 to translate German Einfühlung. The modern word in εμπάθεια has an opposite meaning denoting strong negative feelings and prejudice against someone.
