I started off with a one-letter English language word. For every step, I added one letter of my choice, and re-arranged the letters to make a new word. By the end, I had:
EMPATHISE
What was the word I started with, and how did I get to the word that I ended with?
My solution is probably not unique, so will be interesting to see if there are other paths.

I did find another path from the same six-letter word on down, but it involves a couple of rude words.
