Loving-kindness originates with the Hebrew word, chesed (or Hesed, Heb. חסד). It means kindness or love. The Latin translation (misericordia) are: pity, compassion, mercy, sympathy, and humanity.
This implies empathy for a person suffering in misery. Thus, this quality of God is a reflection of the good in humanity. -- Chesed: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chesed#Translations
