Psychologically

/ˌsaɪkəˈlɑdʒɪkəli/ adverb

Definition

In a way that relates to the mind, emotions, or mental processes; concerning how the mind works.

Etymology

From 'psychology' (study of the mind) plus the adverbial suffix '-ally.' Psychology itself comes from Greek 'psyche' (mind, soul) and 'logia' (study of). The adverb form emerged in the 19th century as psychology developed as a scientific discipline.

Kelly Says

The Greek word 'psyche' originally meant 'soul' or 'spirit,' but modern psychology transformed it into something measurable and scientific—it's a perfect example of how old spiritual concepts get reborn as modern science!
