Emote Meaning?
4.0BRAINROT SCOREEmote In online chat and games, an action or feeling shown to other users as a graphic or a reported action instead of plain text. Wikipedia describes it as an entry in a text chat client that indicates an action taking place (for example the action command on IRC); in Twitch chat it means an image-based icon, and in video games a short gesture or dance that other players see but that does not affect play. A custom emote is a channel- or server-specific image made by or for a community; emote is the general term.
Origin:Wiktionary gives emote as a back-formation from emotion, in US use from the early 20th century for showing emotion; the online sense (an action expressed as a graphic or reported speech) came with text chat and MMORPGs such as EverQuest and World of Warcraft, per Wikipedia.
