Etymology
Psychoanalyst starts with psycho-, the same part you see in psychology, and it means 'mind' or 'soul', while the rest comes from analyze, which means 'to break apart' or 'examine'. So a psychoanalyst is a therapist who carefully 'examines' a person's thoughts and feelings to find the deeper causes of their problems.
