English Language & Usage Asked by nitsua60 on December 10, 2020
[I’ve checked all the single-word-requests about empathy; they mostly deal with those who lack empathy or somehow empathize "wrongly."]
Empathy is (roughly) the ability to understand another’s experience, to put oneself in another’s shoes.
Is there a word that captures the desire to empathize? Or the enjoyment thereof or satisfaction derived therefrom?
Solicitude is the nearest I can think of.
Solicitude: the quality of caring about other people's comfort, safety, and how they feel.
Example: I'm touched by your solicitude.
As a quality of another quality, it may fit your question.
