Pathos.
In rhetoric, pathos is the emotional appeal — it aims to make an audience feel something (sympathy, anger, joy, fear, etc.) to persuade them. Examples include personal anecdotes, vivid imagery, charged words, rhetorical questions, music or evocative images in ads. Contrast with ethos (credibility) and logos (logic/facts). Use pathos carefully and ethically, and support it with facts when possible.
