psiquiatra
/siˈkjatɾa/ · B1 · noun · mf
psychiatrist
🧠 psiqu (psyche, mind) + iatra (Greek iatros, healer) = mind healer
Pediatra (child healer) and geriatra (elder healer) end in the same -iatra. In everyday Spanish the p is often silent, so it sounds like see-KYA-tra. The same word covers a man or a woman: el psiquiatra, la psiquiatra.
