I know the original soul was created when God breathed into man and man became a living soul without sin. What is the difference in the original soul and the soul after Adam sinned?

There is none. The Hebrew word for soul is 'nephesh'while the Greek uses 'psuche.' The Greek and Hebrew words, however, more properly denote that which is alive, which is animated, which breathes, which has an animal nature. The Bible states that both man and animals became 'living souls' that die.Often two other terms get intermingled and confused. The word 'spirit' is in the Hebrew 'ruach' and Greek 'pneuma.'Both simply mean wind, breath, mind, spirit when speaking of man or animal. It is neuter. When speaking of God, ruach connotes His active, creative power and the One who imparts the breath of life or nephesh to living, air breathing creatures which includes man. It is not a person or part of an trinity as some state.

What does the root word in psychiatrist mean?

Psychiatry is the study of the mind, and takes its name from the Greek word "psyche" which means soul or mind. It also means butterfly, and is the name of the woman who marries Eros (aka Cupid). A psychopomp escorts the souls of the dead to Hades. The second part, -iatry, comes from the Greek words Iatros= physician, Iatriki= medicine. So psychiatry is more "the specialty of healing the soul/mind"
