喜樂美語

From the word’s history

From French psychologie, from New Latin psychologia, from Greek psukhḗ 'soul' + -logía 'study of'.

借自法文，源自希臘文 psukhḗ「靈魂」加 -logia「學問」。

Wiktionary

Picture someone trying to look inside the part of a person you cannot see — what is going on in there that makes them think this, feel that, do the other. Psychology can name the whole subject that asks the question, or the answer for one particular case: what is going on inside this person, this crowd, this activity.

可以想成：有人想看進一個人身上看不見的那一塊——裡面到底在運作什麼，才會讓他這樣想、這樣感覺、這樣做。psychology 可以指「問這個問題的那門學問」，也可以指某一個具體情況下的答案：這個人、這群人、這件事的裡面在跑什麼。
