Usage Examples

Etymology

The French noun **psycho** is a 20th‑century abbreviation of the borrowed English *psycho‑*, itself derived from the Greek *psyche* (“soul, mind”) through the French terms *psychologie* and *psychiatrie*. It entered French slang in the 1930s‑40s to denote a psychologist or psychiatrist, and has since become a colloquial noun for a mental‑health professional.
