Morphology
psychosocial = social (semi-transparent) = psycho + social
The word is built from the recognizable adjective 'social' plus the classical combining form 'psycho-', but the exact academic sense refers to the interaction of psychological and social factors rather than a fully compositional everyday meaning.
Etymology
Psychosocial is made of two parts: psycho- meaning 'mind', as in the word psychology, and social meaning 'about other people'. So psychosocial describes how a person's mind, feelings, or behavior are affected by their life with others.
