From Webster's Revised Unabridged Dictionary (1913) [web1913]:
Sympathy \Sym"pa*thy\, n.; pl. {Sympathies}. [F. sympathie, L.       sympathia, Gr. [?]; sy`n with + [?] suffering, passion, fr.       [?], [?], to suffer. See {Syn-}, and {Pathos}.]       1. Feeling corresponding to that which another feels; the             quality of being affected by the affection of another,             with feelings correspondent in kind, if not in degree;             fellow-feeling.                         They saw, but other sight instead -- a crowd Of ugly                      serpents! Horror on them fell, And horrid sympathy.                                                                               --Milton.          2. An agreement of affections or inclinations, or a             conformity of natural temperament, which causes persons to             be pleased, or in accord, with one another; as, there is             perfect sympathy between them.          3. Kindness of feeling toward one who suffers; pity;             commiseration; compassion.                         I value myself upon sympathy, I hate and despise                      myself for envy.                                 --Kames.          4. (Physiol.)             (a) The reciprocal influence exercised by the various                   organs or parts of the body on one another, as                   manifested in the transmission of a disease by unknown                   means from one organ to another quite remote, or in                   the influence exerted by a diseased condition of one                   part on another part or organ, as in the vomiting                   produced by a tumor of the brain.             (b) That relation which exists between different persons                   by which one of them produces in the others a state or                   condition like that of himself. This is shown in the                   tendency to yawn which a person often feels on seeing                   another yawn, or the strong inclination to become                   hysteric experienced by many women on seeing another                   person suffering with hysteria.          5. A tendency of inanimate things to unite, or to act on each             other; as, the sympathy between the loadstone and iron.             [R.]          6. Similarity of function, use office, or the like.                         The adverb has most sympathy with the verb. --Earle.          Syn: Pity; fellow-feeling; compassion; commiseration;                tenderness; condolence; agreement.          Usage: {Sympathy}, {Commiseration}. Sympathy is literally a                   fellow-feeling with others in their varied conditions                   of joy or of grief. This term, however, is now more                   commonly applied to a fellow-feeling with others under                   affliction, and then coincides very nearly with                   commiseration. In this case it is commonly followed by                   for; as, to feel sympathy for a friend when we see him                   distressed.

scan path          (circuit design) A technique used to increase the       controllability and observability of a {logic circuit} by       incorporating "{scan register}s" into the circuit.   Normally       these act like {flip-flop}s but they can be switched into a       "test" mode where they all become one long {shift register}.       This allows data to be clocked serially through all the scan       registers and out of an output pin at the same time as new       data is clocked in from an input pin.          Using this technique, the state of certain points in the       circuit can be examined and modified at any time by suspending       normal operation and switching to test mode.   If the scan path       is placed adjacent to the circuit's input and output pins then       this is known as "{boundary scan}".          (1995-02-14)
