Etymology
Biopsychological combines familiar parts: bio- (from Greek bios, 'life') and psycho- (from psyche, 'mind') with -logical (from logos, 'study'), just like in biology and psychology. So biopsychological means studying 'life' and 'mind' together, which is why it describes how body and mind work together in behaviour.
