Talk:Mitleidenschaft

Another one

@Fytcha another tricky one. Maybe a separate entry for "in M. ziehen" is in order. Jberkel 23:45, 5 July 2022 (UTC)

@Jberkel: I went back and forth on this but I think involvement is a decent definition. Perhaps it is worth noting somewhere in the entry that the meaning was originally more restricted, i.e. that it literally meant mitleiden-schaft and evolved from there to non-emotional things. Note also that Mitleidenschaften is attested plenty. I'm adding a citation that illustrates both of these points at once. — Fytcha〈 T | L | C 〉 02:23, 7 July 2022 (UTC)
