Morphology
psycholinguistic = linguistic (semi-transparent) = psycho + linguistic
The meaning is fairly clear as 'psychological' plus 'linguistic', but the term is specialized and not fully predictable for an average B1 learner.
Etymology
Psycholinguistic comes from two parts: psycho- ('mind') and linguistic from lingua ('language' or 'tongue'). So psycholinguistic relates to the study of how the mind learns and uses language.
