Morphology
analysis = analyse (transparent) = analys + sis
Nominalization of 'analyse'; the psychoanalytic sense names a specific therapeutic procedure but is still clearly a noun derived from the verb 'analyse'.
Etymology
Analysis comes from Greek parts ana- 'up' or 'through' and lysis 'a loosening' or 'breaking', and it is the same root in psychoanalysis. A helpful way to remember Freud's use of analysis is to think of it as 'breaking' thoughts and memories into parts to find hidden meaning.
