Morphology
exobiological = exobiology (transparent) = exobiology + ical
Formed from the noun 'exobiology' plus the adjectival suffix '-ical', so the meaning directly relates to the study of life beyond Earth.
Etymology
The word exobiological combines exo- 'outside' and bio- 'life' with the same root as biology, so it means the study of life beyond Earth.
