The origin of this word is extremely simple and in most ways unique too. Coined for the first time in the early 2013 and also at times in the late 2012; Made by the combination of the words 'Shrink' which basically means a psychiatrist or a psychologist or in much easier terms a therapist in the United States and the other half of the word is a common usage of what explains a person of their profession, much like psych-iatrist.

Tom: I feel so sick with all these emotions and baseless allegations; got no clue as what to do!
Harry: Hey bro, why don't you meet a Shrinkiatrist!? Last time i had some recommendable advice and it worked to a lot greater extent.

womp

A lighthearted reaction upon receiving disappointing news of some sort. Usually something that isn't a particularly a big deal, esp. when it primarily affects someone else - sort of a mild schadenfreude. Sometimes doubled or tripled, and possibly said in a sing-songy voice for added comedic effect to imitate a muted trumpet, which is how the meme originated.
