Morphology

biorhythmic = biorhythm (semi-transparent) = bio + rhythm + ic

The adjective is formed directly from the noun 'biorhythm' with the regular suffix '-ic', so the meaning is recoverable from the base.

Etymology

Biorhythmic combines bio- meaning 'life' and rhythm meaning 'beat' or 'regular movement', so you can think of it as 'life's beat' like the rhythm in music. That's why biorhythmic describes the natural cycles in living things, such as sleep patterns or times of high energy.
