Morphology
biopsychosocial = psychosocial (transparent) = bio + psycho + social
The word is transparently formed by adding bio- to psychosocial, and the overall meaning follows directly from the biological, psychological, and social components.
Etymology
Biopsychosocial is made of three parts: bio- meaning 'life', as in biology, psycho- meaning 'mind', as in psychology, and social meaning 'community' or 'society'. So, a biopsychosocial approach looks at a person's body, mind, and social world together to understand health.
