🎤Pronunciation
🌳Etymology
Origin
The word combines the prefix 'un-' (not) with 'emotion', which derives from Latin 'emovere' (to stir up, agitate), composed of 'e-' (out) and 'movere' (to move). The suffix '-al' converts it to an adjective, creating a term meaning devoid of or unaffected by emotion.
Breakdown
un- (not) + emotion (from Latin emovere: e- (out) + movere (to move), meaning feeling or agitation) + -al (adjective-forming suffix).
