How Hallucinogenic
Surface Forms
Morphology
hallucinogen = hallucination + hallucinate (transparent) = hallucin + ogen
Formed from the recognizable base 'hallucination'/'hallucinate' with the productive suffix '-ogen' meaning 'that which produces'; learners who know 'hallucination' can infer the meaning.
Etymology
The word hallucinogen starts with hallucin-, from a Latin word meaning 'to wander in the mind' or 'to dream', and ends with -gen, a part that means 'to produce' and is the same root as generate. So a hallucinogen is something that 'produces' hallucinations — it makes the mind wander or see things that are not really there.
