A person who tends to prioritize emotions over reason; someone who practices or advocates emotionalism.
Formed from 'emotionalism' + the suffix '-ist' (from Greek, meaning 'one who practices'). Used since the 19th century to describe individuals or philosophical positions.
Calling someone an 'emotionalist' used to be an insult suggesting irrationality, but modern psychology shows people with stronger emotional awareness often make better decisions than purely logical thinkers.
