compassionate — showing mercy, tender-hearted, merciful (feminine plural adjective)
This adjective describes people characterized by compassion or mercy. In Lamentations 4:10, it appears in the shocking phrase 'compassionate women' who cooked their own children during the siege of Jerusalem. The irony is devastating—women whose nature should be tender and merciful were driven by extreme famine to unthinkable acts. The adjective derives from the same root as 'womb,' suggesting natural maternal tenderness that the siege conditions perverted.
