Morphology

biomagnetic = magnetic (semi-transparent) = bio + magnet + ic

The form is clearly analyzable as bio- plus magnetic, but the therapeutic or diagnostic bodily sense is specialized and less directly inferable for many learners.

Etymology

Biomagnetic comes from bio- meaning 'life' and magnetic from magnet meaning 'to attract'. So in medicine biomagnetic describes the use of magnets or magnetic fields on the body for diagnosis or treatment.
