Morphology
biopsych + aspect
The noun 'aspect' is transparent, and the head 'biopsych' is clearly compositional (bio + psych) meaning biological and psychological, so the overall sense — an aspect concerning biological–psychological interaction — can be partly inferred from the parts. However, 'biopsych' is a clipped, technical/academic form that is non-standard and likely unfamiliar to B1 learners, so the meaning is not fully predictable without prior exposure.
Etymology
Biopsych aspect comes from putting together bio (the 'body') and psych (the 'mind'), so you can imagine body and mind working together. So it refers to the part of a condition or problem that looks at how the body and mind affect each other.
