An interesting point you may not have heard.

Empathy in Greek is (?) empathia?

It certainly looks like the word Empathy comes from Empathia doesn't it...but

Empathia is exactly the opposite of Empathy. It means you have no empathy.

I wonder how that happened.

Interesting, thank you. Maybe 'compassion' would have been a better choice.
