It’s a pathological spelling error; it’s contagious so be careful! 😜

Seriously though, this was on Wikidiff . Com:

“As nouns the difference between pathos and pothos is that pathos is the quality or property of anything which touches the feelings or excites emotions and passions, especially that which awakens tender emotions, such as pity, sorrow, and the like; contagious warmth of feeling, action, or expression; pathetic quality while pothos is species: Epipremnum aureum, a vine widely cultivated as a houseplant, once classified in the genus genus: Pothos.”
