Etymology
'emotion-controlling' originates from the combination of 'emotion' and 'control,' where 'emotion' refers to feelings and 'control' refers to the power to influence or direct behavior.
'Emotion' and 'control' have been used separately in English since the 14th century, and their combination into 'emotion-controlling' is a modern adaptation.
Initially, 'emotion' and 'control' were used separately, but their combination into 'emotion-controlling' specifically refers to the ability to manage emotions.
