Morphology
bioflavonoid = flavonoid (opaque) = bio + flavon + oid
The word is built with the recognizable prefix bio- plus the technical base flavonoid, but the combined meaning is not predictable for an average learner.
Etymology
Bioflavonoid breaks into bio- meaning 'life', as in biology, and flav- from Latin flavus meaning 'yellow'. So a bioflavonoid is a plant 'life-yellow' compound that often appears as yellow pigments in fruits and vegetables and helps explain their role in plant and human health.
