n. an emotional state or reaction

The word "feeling" originates from Old English fēlan, meaning "to touch or perceive," which evolved into Middle English feelen. The suffix -ing was added to form a noun denoting the action or result of the verb. Over time, "feeling" expanded from physical touch to encompass emotional and intuitive perceptions, reflecting the interconnectedness of sensory and emotional experiences in human cognition.
