The compound term combines empathetic, derived from the Greek empatheia (from en- 'in' + pathos 'feeling'), and listener, from Old English hlysnan ('to hear, listen'). The modern psychological concept gained prominence in the mid-20th century through client-centered therapy, emphasizing active, non-judgmental comprehension of another's emotional state.
