Which prefix means mind?

Which prefix means mind?

• A. Viscer/o
• B. Psych/o
• C. Cervic/o
• D. Abdomin/o

Answer: (B)

The concept here is identifying the Greek/Latin root that denotes mind. The prefix that means mind is psych/o, which appears in terms like psychology, psychiatrist, and psychosomatic, all of which relate to mental processes. The other options point to body regions or organs: viscer/o refers to internal organs, cervic/o to the neck or cervix, and abdomin/o to the abdomen. So psych/o is the correct prefix for mind.
