Word of the day - DISPASSIONATELY

The word today is Dispassionately

Dispassionately is an adverb and means the following:

- To act or do something in a dispassionate manner: without emotion. 

- To think and act without influence of or regard to any emotion(s).











If you behave dispassionately then you are being dispassionate.
If you are dispassionate you may have emotions but not show them.
To act dispassionately others see cruelty, but the act is without malice.
A official hangman or executioner is expected to act dispassionately.

This entry was surprisingly difficult to finish because of the existence and validity of other words that all contained the word "passion" and that all seem to boil down to a meaning of "without passion".

I am thinking of the words: 
Discompassionate, Discompassionately, Dispassionate, Dispassionately, Uncompassionate, Uncompassionately, etc.
