psychopompn.

Brit.

/ˈsʌɪkəʊpɒmp/, U.S.

/ˈsaɪkoʊˌpɑmp/

Forms:

α. 1800s– psychopompos.

β. 1800s– psychopomp.

Origin: Of multiple origins. A borrowing from Greek. Partly also a borrowing from German. Etymons: Greek ψυχοπομπός; German Psychopompos.

Etymology: < ancient Greek ψυχοπομπός conductor or guide of souls, especially as a title applied to Charon and also more commonly to Hermes, the Anubis of Egypt, and to Apollo (Plutarch 2. 758 B) < ψυχο- psycho- comb. form + πομπός conductor, guide (see pompilid adj. and n.). In specific use in psychology via German Psychopompos (1934 in the passage translated in quot. 1951: see note). Compare French psychopompe , adjective (1842); the word does not occur in the Middle French passage in Amyot's translation of Plutarch that is the immediate source of quot. 1603. N.E.D. (1909) also gives a partial pronunciation of (ps-) /ps-/. The German original of quot. 1951 occurs in an article in C. G. Jung Wirklichkeit der Seele (1934) 342. Although most of this book was written by Jung, the article in question is by his wife Emma. In β forms with omission of the ending.

A mythical conductor or guide of souls to the place of the dead (in quot. 1603 as a title). Also in extended use.In analytical psychology: (Jung's term for) the anima or animus, regarded as the link between the ego and the unconscious.
