| definition: |
Emotions are feelings that all people have. Love, hate, fear, and anger are some emotions that people feel. Some emotions are so strong that changes in our bodies happen. Sometimes our heart beats faster, our face turns red, or we start to cry, shake, or laugh.
Although the doll makes a noise like crying, it doesn't really feel emotions.

| derivation: |
emotionless (adj.) |
Emotion is from exmovere, a Latin word that means "to move out from" or "stir up." When our feelings are stirred up, the feelings we have often move out or burst out from inside us. One way this happens is when we express emotion through sounds, gestures, or words.
