A state of being without feeling, empathy, or emotional response; emotional numbness or apathy.
From dis- (without) + -pathy (from Greek pathos, meaning feeling or suffering). This is a rare medical and psychological term formed in the 19th century using Greek roots to describe a lack of emotional response.
While 'apathy' is common, 'dispathy' is almost never used—but it shows how doctors and scientists built specialized vocabulary using Latin and Greek prefixes to describe subtle states of mind.
