可以想成：這個字把鏡頭對準一個人腦子裡發生的事——想法、感受、記憶、恐懼這些看不見的東西，以及它們怎麼牽動你的行為。凡是跟這個內在世界有關的，就是 psychological。From the word’s history
From Greek psykhē 'breath, soul, mind' (linked to psykhein 'to breathe'), plus -logy 'the study of'. At root it means 'to do with that invisible, thinking mind' — exactly its modern core.
psychological 的字根是希臘文 psykhē，本意是『氣息、靈魂、心智』（跟 psykhein『吹氣、呼吸』有關），後面接上 -logy『對…的研究』。所以這個字底子裡就是『跟那口看不見、會思考的心智有關』——正好對上它的核心。
