Romanian borrowed "psihopat" from French "psychopathe" in the late 19th or early 20th century, as part of a wave of medical and psychiatric vocabulary. The French word itself was built from Greek "psyche" (mind, soul) and "pathos" (suffering, disease). The term entered clinical use across Europe to describe a personality disorder before spreading into everyday speech as a general insult.
