“Compassion actually comes from two Latins words. (I studied Latin at university, don’t ask me why.) The first word is the word for “suffering”, which is patior (P-A-T-I-O-R) and its participle passus, which means “suffering”. And the “com” part obviously, for anyone who knows any Spanish or Italian, is “with”, so compassion means “suffering with”.
Tom Hiddleston,
