Psychoacoustics /ˌsaɪkoʊəˈku stɪks/
(noun)
The study of the psychological and physiological aspects of hearing and how humans perceive sounds. It explores how sound waves are transformed into auditory sensations and how these processes relate to factors such as sound localization, pitch perception, loudness, and the quality of sound.
The term "psychoacoustics" is derived from a combination of "psycho," meaning "mind" or "psychological," and "acoustics," which refers to the science of sound. This reflects the field's focus on the intersection of psychological processes and acoustic phenomena.
Genealogy of the Word
Psycho-: From the Greek "psyche," meaning "breath, life, soul," later associated with the mind or psychological processes. It's commonly used as a prefix in English to denote psychological aspects or processes.
Acoustics: Originates from the Greek word "akoustikos," meaning "of or for hearing," derived from "akouein," which means "to hear." Acoustics as a scientific term refers to the study of sound, its production, transmission, and effects.

Research in psychoacoustics has led to the development of noise-cancelling headphones, which use sound wave properties to reduce unwanted ambient noise, providing a clearer and more immersive listening experience for users.

Synchronic /sɪnˈkrɒnɪk/
Adjective
The term "Synchronic" pertains to the study, observation, or analysis of events, phenomena, or elements as they exist or occur simultaneously, without consideration of their historical development. It is often used in contrast with "diachronic," which involves looking at events, phenomena, or elements across different points in time.
Etymology:
The word originates from the Greek "syn," meaning "together," and "chronos," meaning "time," thus signifying the simultaneous or concurrent nature of the events or phenomena being considered.
Usage:
"Synchronic" can be applied across a range of academic disciplines, including linguistics, anthropology, and sociology, to focus on a snapshot view of complex systems or phenomena at a specific point in time.
