Cosmopathic

/ˌkɑzmoˈpæθɪk/ adjective

Definition

Feeling deep sympathy or concern for all people across the world; having compassion for humanity as a whole regardless of national borders.

Etymology

From Greek kosmos (world, universe) + pathos (feeling, suffering). The term combines the universal scope of 'kosmos' with emotional empathy, suggesting a worldview where one's sympathy extends to all of humanity.

Kelly Says

A cosmopathic person feels the suffering of someone on the other side of the world as if they were a neighbor, which is why global humanitarian workers and international aid organizations are driven by cosmopathic values that transcend nationalism.
