   It is derived from ANIMA 'spirit, soul'.

   The Greek suffix "-logia" retained its form in classical and Medieval   
   Latin, but was modified to "-logie" in French, which is the source of the   
   English form "-logy".

   The form of the word is of Classical Greek origin, its present content is   
   of later, arguably late 19th century, origin. A speaker of Classical Greek   
   would have understood the basic meaning of the word, but since the   
   discipline going by this name only came into existence much later, he   
   would not have been able to say anything of substance about it for lack of   
   an established terminology, scientific paradigm, and conceptual structure.   
   For speakers of Classical Greek, insofar as the subject matter of   
   contemporary psychology was discussed at all, such discussion took place   
   within the framework of philosphy and used the terminology, concepts,  and   
   methodologies of that discipline.

   Unh, no. Turkey, Israel, and Egypt are understood to be part of the Middle   
   east. Until the 15th century western Turkey was Greek (Istanbul <   
   Constantinople, Izmir < Smyrna). Alexandria, once a jewel among Greek   
   cities, is now in Egypt. And the Greek Island of Rhodes is a hop, skip,   
   and jump from the Middle East. I was visiting Rhodes on May 30, 1972 when   
   a massacre took place at Lod Airport in Tel Aviv. An evacuation center and   
   hospital were quickly set up in nearby Rhodes which, being part of Greece,   
   was the closest place that was NATO territory.
