Not influenced by strong emotion; impartial and objective in judgment or analysis. It describes an approach that deliberately excludes personal feelings or bias to maintain fairness.
From 'dis-' (without) + 'passionate' (full of passion), formed in English in the 16th century. The prefix removes the emotional element, creating objectivity through the absence of passion.
Dispassionate = 'dis-' + 'passionate' - literally without passion! Think of a judge who must be dispassionate to be fair, or a scientist analyzing data objectively without letting hopes influence results.
