This is one of those ones where I would really love to meet the author.  People who use big words often love words, and some people who love words love to theorize about where words come from.  There are entire hours of NPR dedicated to the origin of words.  Where would a word-lover suppose that “psycho-semitic” would have come from, in order for it to make sense in this context?  I’d love to read that story.
