means A professional trained to study the mind and behavior, and to help people work through thoughts, feelings, and problems.
from Built from Greek psyche, meaning 'breath' or 'soul' — the thing that animates a body — and logia, 'the study of.' Psyche itself carries a myth inside it: Psyche was a mortal woman loved by Eros, whose trials became a story of the soul tested and refined. The word 'psychology' emerged in the 1500s-1600s as scholars coined Latinized Greek compounds for new fields of learning, and 'psychologist' followed once the study of the soul became a study of the mind — eventually trading in metaphysics for clinical hours.
