Morphology
bioelectrical = electrical (transparent) = bio + electric + al
The word is formed productively from bio- plus electrical, so its meaning follows standard English compositional rules.
Etymology
Bioelectrical is made of bio- meaning 'life' and electric meaning 'electricity'. So bioelectrical describes electrical activity in living things, like the signals from the heart or nerves.
