Linguistic Origin & Historical Etymology

The term is a modern compound word formed from 'mood' (derived from the Old English 'mōd', meaning heart, spirit, or courage) and 'altering', the present participle of 'alter' (from Old French 'alterer' and Late Latin 'alterare', meaning to change or make other). Emerging in the mid-20th century alongside advances in psychopharmacology, it initially described substances that chemically modify psychological states and emotional perception.
