Etymology
The word xenobiology is made from xeno- 'strange', a part you see in xenophobia which means fear of strangers, plus bio- 'life' as in biology, and -logy 'study'. So it literally means the 'study of strange life', which helps you remember it is about life forms different from normal Earth biology, like alien or synthetic organisms.
