Morphology
psychophysiological = physiological (semi-transparent) = psycho + physiolog + ical
The word is clearly built on the recognizable adjective 'physiological' with the technical prefix 'psycho-', but the full sense is specialized and not fully inferable for all learners.
Etymology
Psychophysiological combines psycho- 'mind' as in psychology and physio- 'body' as in physical. So, it describes the link between a person's mental state and the body's reactions.
