what is the literal meaning of the term psychology
Psychology The word psychology derives from Greek roots meaning study of the psyche, or soul (ψυχή psukhē, "breath, spirit, soul" and -λογία -logia, "study of" or "research").[8] The Latin word psychologia was first used by the Croatian humanist and Latinist Marko Marulić in his book, Psichiologia de ratione animae humanae in the late 15th century or early 16th century.[9] The earliest known reference to the word psychology in English was by Steven Blankaart in 1694 in The Physical Dictionary which refers to "Anatomy, which treats the Body, and Psychology, which treats of the Soul."[10]
Conjecture Karl Popper pioneered the use of the term "conjecture" in scientific philosophy.[15] Conjecture is related to hypothesis, which in science refers to a testable conjecture.
The Pale The word pale derives ultimately from the Latin word
Hundreds and thousands Hundreds and thousands used incorrectly instead of hundreds of thousands to mean "an indefinite but emphatically large number".
