psychanalytique

Forms

psychanalytique (plural psychanalytiques)^[1] First written psycho-analytique (1905).^[2][3][4]

Etymology

It is a derivative from French psychanalyse, formed after the pattern of analyse and analytique,^[2][1][4] or else borrowed from German psychoanalytisch, a word used by Freud in 1898.^[2][3][1] The earlier hyphenated form (1905) is close to the German one.^[2][3]

Earliest recorded meaning

It is first found in 1905 as psycho-analytique in E. Claparède's review of Freud's Zur Psychopathologie des Alltagslebens in the Archives de psychologie.^[2]

Semantic evolution

The present form psychanalytique is recorded in 1909, in a paper by C. G. Jung in L'Année psychologique.^[2][4][3] It belongs to the family of psychanalyse formed in the first third of the 20th century, with psychanalyste (1912) and psychanalyser (1926).^[3] Besides “relating to psychoanalysis” it came to describe what consists in or is based on psychoanalysis, such as a treatment.^[2][5] In everyday speech the whole series is often replaced by the simple forms, here analytique.^[3][6]
