Etymology
The word psychedelically comes from psychedelic, made of Greek parts psyche ('mind' or 'soul'), the same psyche in psychology, and delos ('to show'), so it means 'showing the mind'. So if something is described as psychedelically bright or strange, it looks like a dream or a mind full of very bright colors and unusual shapes.
