Morphology
psilocybin = psilocybe (opaque) = psilocybe + in
Formed from the taxonomic name 'Psilocybe' plus the chemical suffix '-in', but this formation and the meaning ('a psychoactive compound') are specialized and not inferable by an average B1 learner.
Etymology
Psilocybin comes from the mushroom name Psilocybe, which is made from Greek parts psilo- meaning 'bare' or 'smooth' and -cybe meaning 'head'. The ending -in, like in aspirin and caffeine, marks it as a chemical, so psilocybin is the active substance from those 'smooth-headed' mushrooms that produces strong, mind-changing effects.
