单词 autopathy
释义

autopathyn.

Brit. /ɔːˈtɒpəθi/, U.S. /ɔˈtɑpəθi/, /ɑˈtɑpəθi/
Origin: A borrowing from Greek. Probably also partly formed within English, by compounding. Etymons: Greek αὐτοπάθεια ; auto- comb. form1, -pathy comb. form.
Etymology: Originally < Hellenistic Greek αὐτοπάθεια one's own experience < αὐτοπαθής (of pronouns) reflexive ( < ancient Greek αὐτο- auto- comb. form1 + -παθής -path comb. form) + -εια -y suffix3. In later use probably independently re-formed < auto- comb. form1 + -pathy comb. form. Compare deuteropathy n.For Hellenistic Greek αὐτοπαθής a sense ‘speaking from one's own feeling or experience’ is implied by the derivative adverb αὐτοπαθῶς.
Now rare.
(Excessive) feeling for oneself; an instance of this.
