Morphology
neuropsychiatric = psychiatric (semi-transparent) = neuro + psychiatry + ic
The prefix neuro- is clear, but the base psychiatric is a technical term, so the full meaning is only partly transparent to an average learner.
Etymology
Neuropsychiatric combines neuro- ('nerve') and psyche ('mind'), the same root as psychology, plus a part that means 'healing' or 'doctor'. So it describes problems that involve both the nervous system and the mind, which is why we use it for disorders with both neurological and psychiatric features.
