单词 aestho-physiology
释义

aestho-physiologyestho-physiologyn.

Brit. /ˌiːsθə(ʊ)fɪzɪˈɒlədʒi/, U.S. /ˌɛsθoʊˌfɪziˈɑlədʒi/
Forms: 1800s– aestho-physiology, 1800s– estho-physiology.
Origin: A borrowing from Greek, combined with English elements. Etymons: Greek αἰσθάνεσθαι , -o- connective, physiology n.
Etymology: < the stem of ancient Greek αἰσθάνεσθαι to perceive (see aesthesis n.) + -o- connective + physiology n.Compare the coiner Herbert Spencer's comments on the structure of the word, which immediately precede the passage cited in quot. 1870:1870 H. Spencer Princ. Psychol. (ed. 2) I. vi. 97 This new word will possibly be condemned as not legitimately compounded. The objection that the root from which its prefix is derived, is shorn of its fair proportions, admits, I am told, of a satisfactory answer: from the proximate root, appeal may be made to the original root, which, following the Greek method of forming derivatives, would admit of the required modification. But to the criticism that the word involves the logical inconsistency of uniting a verb with a noun, there is no such sufficient answer.
Now historical and rare.
Herbert Spencer's name for: the study of the relationship between sensations or feelings and nervous processes.
