Memory trick · Prashant Sir

A = कमी, PATHY = feeling — जैसे sympathy में। जब अंदर feelings की कमी हो और कुछ भी उत्साह न जगाए, वह हालत apathy है। Root एक बार समझ लीजिए, apathy और apathetic दोनों हो गए।

A means absence and PATHY means feeling, as in sympathy. When feelings are absent and nothing excites a person, that state is apathy. Learn the root once and both apathy and apathetic are done.
