[ 1913 Webster] Syn: Pity; fellow- feeling; compassion; commiseration; tenderness; condolence; agreement. Usage: { Sympathy}, { Commiseration}. Sympathy is literally a fellow- feeling with others in their varied conditions of joy or of grief. This term, however, is now more commonly applied to a fellow- feeling with others under affliction, and then coincides very nearly with commiseration. In this case it is commonly followed by for; as, to feel sympathy for a friend when we see him distressed. The verb sympathize is followed by with; as, to sympathize with a friend in his distresses or enjoyments. " Every man would be a distinct species to himself, were there no sympathy among individuals." -- South. See { Pity}. [ 1913 Webster] Fault, Acknowledged and deplored, in Adam wrought Commiseration. -- Milton.
