Word origin
[1915–20; bio- + electric]This word is first recorded in the period 1915–20. Other words that entered Englishat around the same time include: camouflage, costar, markup, neorealism, supernationalismbio- is a combining form meaning “life” occurring in loanwords from Greek (biography). On this model, bio- is used in the formation of compound words (bioluminescence). Other words that use the affix bio- include: biomechanics, bionic, biosocial, biosynthesis, biotechnology
