Did you know?
- In professional medical settings, Spanish doctors often shorten the long neuropsicológico to neuro when referring to the specialty or the practitioner.
- Despite the complexity of the word, the Spanish spelling omits the 'h' found in the Greek root for 'psyche', a common occurrence when Greek-derived terms are adapted into Romance languages.
- Because neuropsicológico is a 'proparoxytone' word (stressed on the third-to-last syllable), it must always carry a written accent mark on the 'o'.
