Root Explanation

Empathizer → It is formed from "empath" (derived from the Greek "empatheia", meaning passion or emotional state) and "-izer" (a suffix used to indicate a person who performs a specific action). An empathizer is someone who actively engages in understanding and sharing the feelings of others.

Memory Tip

Think of someone who is deeply in touch with their own 'emotional state' ('empath') and helps others by 'performing' that understanding ('-izer'). This helps you remember that an empathizer is someone who shares and understands feelings.
