Definition
A person who agrees with or supports someone's beliefs, cause, or feelings, especially without being a formal member or active participant.
Etymology
From 'sympathize,' which comes from Greek 'sympatheia' (fellow-feeling), combining 'syn-' (with) and 'pathos' (feeling). The '-er' suffix denotes a person who performs the action.
Kelly Says
The term 'sympathizer' can be morally neutral or deeply problematic depending on context—a sympathizer to a charity is admirable, but a sympathizer to fascism was a dangerous threat in WWII Europe.
