Morphology
psychopharmacology = pharmacology (transparent) = psycho + pharmac + logy
The word is transparently formed by adding psycho- to pharmacology to specify drug effects on the mind and behavior.
Etymology
Psychopharmacology combines psycho- 'mind', pharmaco- 'drug', and -logy 'study', and it shares its parts with common words like psychology and pharmacy. So it means the 'study of drugs on the mind', which is why the term is used for research into how medicines change behavior.
