No such word as "mistell", ... but there is "apathetic" (coming from "apathy", not "pathetic").

Both.

Mistell appears in the 1913 edition of Websters and it's certainly in my 1981 (printed) edition of Chambers

apathetic, apathy and pathetic are all derived from pathos.

1) Mistell appears in the 1913 edition of Websters and it's certainly in my 1981 (printed) edition of Chambers

2) apathetic, apathy and pathetic are all derived from pathos.
1) How odd. It does not appear on the M-W website. ... I better get a book.

2) Sorry if I misled you there. I meant semantically, not etymologically.

Thanks for the clarifications.
