Forms: 1600s psucologie, 1600s–1700s psycology, 1600s–1800s psychologie, 1600s– psychology, 1800s psichology.

Origin: A borrowing from Latin. Etymon: Latin psychologia.

Etymology: < post-classical Latin psychologia (late 16th cent., originally in German sources: see note below) < ancient Greek ψυχο- psycho- comb. form + post-classical Latin -logia -logy comb. form. Compare French psychologie (1588 in Middle French as psichologie in sense ‘science of the apparition of spirits’, 1690 in sense 1, 1765 in sense 2a, 1857 in sense 2d), Spanish psicología (c1760), Italian psicologia (1739 in sense 2a), German Psychologie (1741 or earlier).Neither this word nor any other member of its family is paralleled in Greek. Post-classical Latin psychologia was first used in Germany in the late 16th cent., apparently by J. T. Freigius (in his Quæstiones Physicæ (1579) or earlier). It has frequently been claimed (apparently earliest by W. F. Volkmann von Volkmar Lehrbuch der Psychologie (ed. 2, 1875) I. 38) that psychologia was used earlier by Philipp Melanchthon (see Melanchthonian n. and adj.) in a lecture title, but this use has never been traced. At the end of the 16th cent. the post-classical Latin word gained wider currency through works of the German philosophers Rudolf Goeckel (Goclenius) the Elder (Ψυχολογία: hoc est, de hominis perfectione, animo, et in primis ortu hujus (1590, here in Greek characters)) and his pupil Otto Casmann (Psychologia anthropologica, sive animæ humanæ doctrina (1594)). In 17th- and 18th-cent. philosophical works, it frequently denotes a branch of study concerned with human souls; for example, J. Micraelius Lexicon philosophicum (ed. 2, 1662), s.vv. Metaphysica and Philosophia, defines psychologia as a subdiscipline of metaphysics. The word is also frequent in 17th-cent. post-classical Latin medical works; for example, S. Blankaart Lexicon medicum (1679) (compare quot. 1693 at sense 1) distinguishes between psychologia and somatotomia (or somatologia ) as the two parts of anthropologia . In all these instances the post-classical Latin word is used in sense 1; it is difficult to determine when it began to be used in sense 2. Although the first use in this sense is frequently attributed to the German philosopher and mathematician Christian Wolff, specifically to his works Psychologia empirica (1732) and Psychologia rationalis (1734), the respective subtitles of these works suggest that Wolff intended psychologia in a transitional sense between senses 1 and 2. Such a transition is also seen in English in quot. 1712 at sense 2a. For a discussion of the early history of the word in Latin and various other European languages see further F. M. Lapointe 1973, in Rivista critica di storia della filosofia 28 138–60.

1. The study or consideration of the soul or spirit. Cf. pneumatology n. 1. Now rare (in later use chiefly in etymologizing contexts).

H7^v I call the generall doctrine of man Anthropologie, the parts of which, I do ordain to be, according to this division, Psychologie, Somatologie, and Hœmatologie, into the doctrine of the soul, bodie, and blood... Psychologie is a doctrine which searches out mans Soul, and the effects of it.

1693 tr. S. Blankaart Physical Dict. (ed. 2) 13 Anthropologia, the Description of a Man, or the Doctrin concerning him. Bartholine divides it into Two Parts; viz. Anatomy, which treats of the Body, and Psycology, which treats of the Soul.

1839 R. Dawes Nix's Mate I. x. 264 There was a time when a true psychology existed,—or rather, when a perception of the soul's nature was permitted to man.

1950 E. Fromm Psychoanal. & Relig. i. 7 Slowly he [sc. Freud] became aware that he had..resumed a tradition in which psychology as the study of the soul of man was the theoretical basis for the art of living.

1997 Isis 88 703/2 There was, of course, no field of psychology in the Middle Ages—unless one takes ‘psychology’ literally, as the study of the soul.

a. The scientific study of the nature, functioning, and development of the human mind, including the faculties of reason, emotion, perception, communication, etc.; the branch of science that deals with the (human or animal) mind as an entity and in its relationship to the body and to the environmental or social context, based on observation of the behaviour of individuals or groups of individuals in particular (ordinary or experimentally controlled) circumstances.Frequently with preceding distinguishing word, as animal, child, comparative, experimental, folk, social psychology, etc.: for established compounds see the first element.
