Best Answer

Psycho = brain stimulate = to excite so it would mean to stimulate or excite the brain. Good examples would be methamphetamine, amphetamine, cocaine and the like. I suppose you could also qualify anti-depressants as psychostimulants because they enhance neurotransmitters, thus increasing brain activity.
