intellectualised
Analyzed beyond feeling
Intellectualised is the British spelling of intellectualized, the past tense of intellectualize.
To intellectualize is to analyze something in abstract or rational terms, often as a way of avoiding emotional engagement: He intellectualised his grief rather than letting himself feel it.
The word often carries a faintly critical edge, suggesting overthinking or emotional avoidance.
