Feelingful

/ˈfiːlɪŋfəl/ adjective

Definition

Full of feeling; characterized by strong emotion or emotional depth.

Etymology

From 'feeling' (Old English 'felan' + '-ing' suffix) + '-ful' (suffix meaning 'full of'). This construction follows productive patterns in English like 'hopeful' and 'painful'.

Kelly Says

Feelingful is a rare but poetic word that captured the Romantic era's obsession with deep emotion—writers like Byron and Keats would have loved this term to describe their deliberately emotional work.
