A state of strong feeling (as of fear, anger, disgust, grief, joy, or surprise) (he felt a sudden rage but quickly controlled the emotion) (overcome with the emotion of grief when he heard of his friend’s death) (the girl hardly knew what love was since she had never before experienced such a tender emotion). At-ti-tude - A persistent disposition to act either positively or negatively toward a person, group, object, situation, or value. |
