词根：psych(o) = soul, mind 灵魂, 精神, 心理
来源于希腊语 psykhe 心理,-psycho- 为 -psych- 的变体。有异形同义词根：-ment-/-phren- 精神，分别来源于拉丁语 mentis 和希腊语，前者为它对应的拉丁语词根。
另一来源说： 源于一则美丽的古罗马传说：凡人少女Psyche和爱神丘比特Cupid相恋，每晚在一座宫殿里相会。Cupid一再嘱咐不要探究他的身份，不要窥看他的容貌。Psyche忍不住好奇，一天夜里在他熟睡时点上蜡烛偷看，方知与她相爱之人竟是众神中最俊美的爱神。她惊喜交加，手不禁一颤，一滴烛油滴落，Cupid顿时惊醒，旋即离去，从此不见。Psyche 悲恸欲绝，悔恨不已，开始四处漂泊，寻找情人。后经历了无数折难之后终于与Cupid重聚，结为夫妇，并成为灵魂、精神之神。
送给大家一句话：Love could not dwell where there is no trust. （Cupid离开Psyche时如是说）
