Morphology

bioplasmic = bioplasm (opaque) = bio + plasm + ic

The adjective is built regularly from bioplasm, but the pseudoscientific sense of 'life energy' is not recoverable from the component meanings alone.

Etymology

Bioplasmic joins bio- meaning 'life', as in biology, and plasm meaning 'formed substance', as in plasma the liquid part of blood. So a bioplasmic field is imagined as a kind of 'life substance' or energy around living things, which is why the word is used for supposed life energy.
