The word psilocybin I just discovered derives from Greek psilos 'bare, naked; mere' + kybē 'head'.
Thus, psilocybin comes to mean 'bald head' referring to the sleek cap of the liberty 'magic' mushroom.
This made me smile no end for I recently admitted that it's not me who needs the mushroom but the mushroom who needs me...
My head, in other words, is no longer a 'head' but a 'liberty cap'.
