Hm, it does look Greek. OK, isn �t the 1st part (psi) a letter in the Greek alphabet? Or is it related to "psych" as in psychology, psychiatrist, etc.?
And "thurism" is "tourism" spelled incorrectly.
Conclusion: it �s the study of being a tour guide for mentally disturbed people. 
OK, now I �ve got to go look it up!

Oh, come on, you should eliminate all Greeks from the competition when you choose these words!! It �s not fair to all the others...
Honestly, I didn �t even know this word was in the English vocabulary...It must be Greek to all of you!

In Czech psi means dogs. So it might be tourism for dogs.

Psi-related to parapsychology
thurism- the same as tourism
So psithurism must be: going somewhere in order to have some parapsychological activity |
