Morphology
neuropsychology = psychology (transparent) = neuro + psych + logy
For learners who know 'psychology', adding 'neuro-' clearly signals a branch dealing with the brain or nervous system.
Etymology
Neuropsychology combines neuro- ('nerve' or 'brain') and psychology ('study of the mind'), as in the word neuron. So, it means the study of how the brain and nerves make thinking and behaviour work.
