psíquico

/ˈsikiko/ · B2 · adj

psychic, mental

🔮🧠 From Greek psychē, soul or mind. The p is silent: SEE-kee-ko

Same root as English psychic and psychology. Spanish usually drops the p sound at the start, so say sí-qui-co. It can mean psychic as in clairvoyant, but more often it means mental, as in salud psíquica, mental health.
