Pathos: suffering, disease, feeling, passion
Many good returns, fans of classical word origin, and welcome to my discussion of the Greek root word pathos—suffering, disease, feeling, passion {-path, patho-, -pathy}. In this article I will be discussing infrastructural derivatives for this root, as well as SAT prep words; next week I will continue with medical terminology as it pertains to pathology. You may also want to check out this Greek root word path: “disease, feeling” podcast.
Let’s commence with those English vocabulary words that form the infrastructure, or underlying framework, of our language, those words most commonly used that derive from:

Pathos—suffering, disease, feeling, passion {-path, patho-, -pathy}”….

While I realize that this blog is old, it still has merit in discussion.

This translation and definition is incorrect.

While Pathos means suffering, disease, feeling, passion – all correct in their definitions, the root origin of these results are from organs within the body and ‘THEIR PATHS’ to their external displays and expressions within the human context of the body’s constitution and condition.

Therefore a modification needs to be made to how PATHOS results from a discordant alignment from source organ to it’s external modification and expression by the ‘PATH’ it takes to reach that expression.

The hindrance(resistance) or facilitation(additional elements) and amplification by factoring and change from it’s original nature into something else, all play a role in what and how the final external PATHOS expresses itself within an individual.

The human body can only express internal PATHOS by the combination of the quality of it’s constitutional infrastructure and present condition. Drugs here are a prime example of the twisted expression of an original NRGY changed by it’s interaction with something foreign to it’s nature.

Something like BPA in plastics – hormone gender benders, etc…. In going from internal to external, PATHOS NRGY expression has no choice in the matter – it must pass through something to express itself somehow.

Hence the myriad array of diseases, illnesses, mental health issues, PATHOS simply is the result of the lens used to focus variable expressions into a something we can come to terms with – whatever we call it.
