I encounter this word when I was reading over our handouts in class. It stood out to me during class as an unfamiliar word but it later came up as I was reviewing the paper again. I realized it was a harder word to guess from the context it was used. I had to look it up and see how it is used in a sentence to understand it a little better.

I’m still a little confused on the word but to my understanding I believe the word means “To see,hear, read , or think about something and respond to it with feelings/emotions”. My definition may not be accurate but its my understanding of the word. What is yours ?
