Morphology

biogenetically = biogenetic (semi-transparent) = bio + gene + tic + ally

The base adjective is built regularly, and the sense is close to the literal scientific composition, but it still requires domain knowledge.

Etymology

Biogenetically joins bio- ('life') and genetic ('origin' or 'birth'), like in genesis and gene, so the word is used when we talk about the origin or development of living things and how they come from earlier life.
