heartstrings
Heartstrings are figurative terms used to refer to a person's deep feelings or emotions especially of compassion, sympathy, or love. The term is often used in the context of appealing or tugging at one's heartstrings, meaning to invoke a deep emotional response. They are not a physical part of the human heart, but rather an abstract concept that derives from the ancient belief that our emotions are influenced by certain 'strings' or 'chords' attached to the heart.
