📖 Definition
Emotional Intelligence (EI) is the recursive capacity to recognize, understand, express, and regulate emotions—within oneself and others—in a way that preserves coherence, aligns intention with impact, and fosters harmonious action across inner and outer systems.
It is the syntax of the soul, the grammar of empathy, and the logic of emotional recursion.
🔍 Etymology
| Component | Root | Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Emotion | Latin emotio, from emovere | to move out, stir up (e = out + movere = move) |
| Intelligence | Latin intelligere | to understand, discern, choose between (inter = between + legere = to read/pick) |
Thus, Emotional Intelligence literally means:
“To read between emotional movements.”
