'emotion-driven' is a compound word formed from 'emotion' and 'driven'. 'Emotion' originates from the Latin word 'emotio', meaning 'a moving, stirring, agitation'. 'Driven' is the past participle of 'drive', which comes from the Old English 'drīfan', meaning 'to force, compel'.

'Emotion' evolved from the Middle French 'émotion', while 'driven' has remained relatively unchanged from its Old English roots.

Initially, 'emotion' referred to a physical movement or agitation, but it evolved to mean a mental state or feeling. 'Driven' has consistently meant being compelled or motivated by something.
