Yeah - I also wonder what motivates the use of the term 'psychological science'.
Philosophy, to me, because I speak Greek (not Ancient) means somebody who deals w knowledge while philology somebody who deals w language.

The etymology really is irrelevant as the lexical elements don't always add up in meaningful ways. Paradigm in English means a way of doing
-
or thinking, in Greek it literally means example. Ex sample. Just like example from Latin in English.

The only difference is that in Greek every word can be easily etymologically inspected. In fact on hearing a novel word, you can guess the

meaning. This is not the case in English. This is why I strongly disagree with your appeal to sublexical elements. It's not how English

works. "bad" used to mean effeminate. "nice" used to mean silly. It's not relevant really. Psychological science might be needed exactly
-
because there's people out there who still teach Freud as if he's relevant. I think there's more nuance here. But I still think if somebody
-
is self-hating in psychology and pretending not to be even though they work in a psych dept they should fuck off. I'm so bored of them.
