There exist many 'emotion' terms, sprinkled throughout the dictionary and connected
by connotations both obscure and revealing. Such terms include: Emotion, passion,
fervor, ardor, enthusiasm, zeal, mood, humor, temper, vein, disposition, feeling,
affection, sentiment, and affect, to name some of the most common. Each term gathers
round it a history to which assumptions cling. The logos of emotion begins in the pre
-articulated experience of 'being moved' in some manner, yet, the already understood,
implicit, lived ways of being-in-the-world as emotional are also shaped by the arti-
culation of meaning through language.. With this assumption, one is compelled to
further articulate how these 'emotion' terms give meaning to lived emotional experience, and,
by the same token, how they spring forth from the clearing which is human existence.
