Humphry F. Osmond, the British-born psychiatrist who invented the word “psychedelic,” has died at 86. He created the term to describe the effects of the LSD and mescaline he was administering to volunteers … one of whom was Aldous Huxley. (Huxley had suggested the word “phanerothyme” to describe the experience.)
