derivatives sceptic, sceptical, scepticism (one who examines things inevitably becomes sceptical about them!). Metathesis, essentially in the same sense, is also a term used in psycholinguistics. People assemble whole words in the brain,before actually uttering them. Thus, it is not unusual for slips of the tongue to happen in which sounds of the same word change places e.g. "brake fluid" turns into "blake fruid" ,"past fashion" > "fast passion" The same principle applies to whole phrasesand even sentences, which shows that they, too, are largely preassembled in the mind before being uttered.
