Etymology
'emotionally-oriented' originates from the English word 'emotion,' which comes from the Latin word 'emotio,' meaning 'a moving, stirring, agitation.'
'emotion' evolved from the Old French word 'emouvoir,' which meant 'to stir up,' and eventually became the modern English word 'emotion.'
Initially, it meant 'a physical movement or agitation,' but over time it evolved into its current meaning of 'a feeling or emotional state.'
