Etymology
The word psychopharmacologic is made of three parts: psycho- meaning 'mind', like in psychology, pharmaco- meaning 'drug', like in pharmacy, and -logic meaning 'study' or 'related to study'. So psychopharmacologic describes medicines and research about how drugs affect the mind and behavior.
