Etymology : The words ambivalent and ambivalence entered English during the early 20th century in the field of psychology. Though they were introduced in German by the Swiss psychiatrist Eugen Bleuler (who also introduced the term Schizophrenie, "schizophrenia," and Autismus, "autism") in a 1910 publication, their components are Latin rather than Germanic. The prefix ambi- means "both," and the -valent and -valence parts ultimately derive from the Latin verb valēre, meaning "to be strong, be effective, have worth." Not surprisingly, an ambivalent person is someone who has strong feelings on more than one side of a question or issue. Dating to the 16th century, ambiguous is quite a bit older than ambivalent. Both words are in some fashion concerned with duality: ambivalent relates to multiple and contradictory feelings, whereas ambiguous typically describes something with several possible meanings that create uncertainty. The words’ etymologies offer some help in distinguishing between them. Their shared prefix, ambi-, means "both." The -valent in ambivalent was extracted from German äquivalent, "equivalent," from Late Latin aequivalens, "having equal strength," and, in combination with ambi-, suggests the pull of two different emotions. The -ig- in ambiguous, on the other hand, comes ultimately from Latin agere ("to drive, to lead"); paired with ambi-, it suggests movement in two directions at once, and hence, a wavering or uncertainty.
