muta'aththir
Moved / Touched
Feeling strong emotion because of something kind or beautiful.

The term 'متأثر' (muta'aththir) is derived from the root أ-ث-ر (alif-tha-ra), which conveys the sense of being affected or moved emotionally. It has developed historically within narratives of personal and communal experiences in Arabic literature.
'متأثر' is appropriate in both formal and informal contexts, typically found in spoken dialogue conveying emotional reactions to events, art, or literature.
