I vote we take away the power of the word psychopath by using it to refer to ALL mental illnesses and disorders. And if someone says psychopath when they mean ASPD, we tell them to speak English.
But psychopath has a very negative connotation, as it should.
No it shouldn't, it's a shit name. It means suffering soul. If we mean people with ASPD, let's speak English.
It means that in Latin but we aren't speaking Latin.
Psychopath doesn't mean anything in Latin.
Greek, sorry, point stands.
No, it doesn't. Whoever says psychopath is speaking Greek. They should stop that and speak a language they understand.
That isn't how loanwords work, linguistically.
