The wordpsychedelicis a word invented in the20th centuryby joining the Greek words for "mind," ψυχή (psyche), and "manifest," δήλος (delos).

A person in a "psychedelic state" is supposed to be able to feel new ways of looking at his mind that were unknown to him before. This can be caused by taking psychedelicdrugs,likeLSD.In medicine, the new feelings a patient has when he is in psychedelic state are calledhallucinationsandsynesthesia;these are also seen in patients withpsychosis.
