Asker: شكراً جزيلاً ولكن الكلمة غير مناسبة للنص فقد لا تكون مفهومة تماماً للقارئ بالإضافة إلى أنها تترك أثراً سلبياً أريد تجنبه بتسمية تناسب النصوص النفسية أكثر منها

Reference: إمعة كلمة عربية فصيحة

Reference information:
الإمعة: هو الفرد الذي يتفق مع الكل ويقول أنا معك فدمجت الكلمة وأصبحت "إمعة"

وكما جاء في الحديث الضعيف

لا تكونوا إمعة، تقولون إن أحسن الناس أحسنا، وإن ظلموا ظلمنا، ولكن وطنوا أنفسكم، إن أحسن الناس أن تحسنوا وإن أساءوا فلا تظلموا.

والكلمة والله أعلم قد يكون أصلها (أنا مع) وليس أنا معك
