 * The Greek in the etymology wasn't plausible morphologically, so I replaced it with Greek that is- I didn't really analyze it further. With any Greek-based scientific term, you're always faced with the question of whether the parts are Greek or modern-language morphemes derived from Greek. The -o- looks like it's from modern conventions for building scientific terms, but osphresis is pretty rare, so I'm not so sure someone would use it rather than just pulling the original from Ancient Greek. We also don't know the history of the term- for all we know, it could be borrowed from French like several other terms in psychology. Chuck Entz (talk) 04:47, 8 November 2014 (UTC)
