Yes, I meant precisely that word, and chose it accordingly-- under both primary definitions found here:
1. Arousing or capable of arousing sympathetic sadness and compassion: "The old, rather shabby room struck her as extraordinarily pathetic" (John Galsworthy).
2. Arousing or capable of arousing scornful pity.
