Etymology
The word 'heartened' comes from the verb 'hearten,' which dates back to the early 16th century. It is derived from the Old English word 'heorte,' meaning 'heart.' The prefix 'heart-' relates to the emotional center of a person, while the suffix '-en' is used to form verbs that indicate the act of making or becoming. Initially, the term was used in a literal sense to denote lifting someoneโs spirits or giving them courage. Over time, its usage has broadened to encompass feelings of encouragement and upliftment, often associated with positive experiences or affirmations. The evolution of 'heartened' reflects the deep connection between emotions and the concept of the heart as a symbol of hope and resilience.
