Morphology
bionomics = bio + nom + ics
Although the word is a learned classical formation built on bio- and a nom- element, its technical meaning is not readily recoverable for an average B1 learner.
Etymology
Bionomics comes from the Greek parts bio- ('life') and nomos ('law' or 'management'), so it literally means the 'rules' or management of life. Like economy, which is about managing money and resources, bionomics studies how living things and their surroundings work together.
