How Vicarious
Surface Forms
Morphology
Etymology
Vicariously comes from the Latin word vicarius, meaning 'substitute' or 'in place of', and you can see the same root in vice as in vice-president. So to feel something vicariously is to experience it 'in place of' someone else, through their actions or feelings rather than directly.
