Relating to or involving cathexis, which is the concentration of emotional energy or interest on a particular person, object, or idea.
From cathexis, derived from Greek kathaíresis (discharge) combined with the psychological term coined by Freud in early 20th century. The -ic suffix makes it an adjective form describing something characterized by emotional investment.
Freud borrowed this Greek word and transformed it into a psychological concept—basically your brain's way of 'charging up' certain ideas or people with emotional power, like how a phone battery charges.
