Correct answer: "Skin."
"derm-" (or "derma-") is a Greek root meaning "skin." Examples:
- epidermis = epi- (upon) + dermis (skin) → outer layer of the skin
- dermatology = study of the skin
- dermatitis = inflammation of the skin
"Body × Mind" is not a meaning of "derm" (though there is a field called psychodermatology that studies skin conditions linked to psychological factors).
