“sympathize“

When reading “The Boys at the Back” by Christina Hoff Sommers i came across familiar word that I always listen to but didn’t bother to understand it’s background the word “sympathize”. In the article she said “I can sympathize with those who roll their eyes at the relatively recent alarm over boys’ achievement.” With my research I found that according to Webster’s Dictionary the world means “to be in keeping, accord, or harmony” which now gives me a good understanding on how the world holds to have a lot of emotions for someone. It’s truly a good word to use in a conversation.
