ψυχήsoul, mindEtymology
The word joins ψυχή, meaning soul, breath, or mind, with the suffix -λογία, meaning the study or discourse of something, itself from λόγος, word or reason. Scholars in early modern Europe coined 'psychologia' in Latin from these Greek pieces to name the study of the mind, and Modern Greek later adopted the compound back as a native word. The origin of ψυχή itself is debated among linguists, so no single Indo-European root is given here.
