'neurosensory' originates from the combination of 'neuro-' from Greek 'neuron' meaning 'nerve' and 'sensory' from Latin 'sensorius' meaning 'pertaining to the senses'.

'neurosensory' was formed by combining the Greek and Latin roots to describe functions related to both nerves and senses.

Initially, it meant 'pertaining to nerve senses', and this meaning has largely remained the same in modern usage.
