Origin

Mid 16th century (denoting a public disturbance): from French émotion, from émouvoir 'excite', based on Latin emovere, from e- (variant of ex-) 'out' + movere 'move'. The current sense dates from the early 19th century.

The modern meaning of emotion is surprisingly recent and very different from its original sense. In the 16th century the word first meant ‘a public disturbance or commotion’, as in ‘There were…great stirs and emotions in Lombardy’ (1579). The root is Latin movere, ‘to move’, and the second sense was ‘a movement or migration’. The main current meaning of ‘a strong feeling such as joy or anger’ was not used in writing until the early 1800s. The emoticon, a blend of emotion and icon dates from the 1990s.

Rhymes

commotion, devotion, groschen, Laotian, locomotion, lotion, motion, notion, Nova Scotian, ocean, potion, promotion
