Morphology
biocatalytic = catalytic (semi-transparent) = bio + catalyt + ic
The word is built in a regular way from bio- plus catalytic, but the scientific meaning is somewhat specialized rather than fully everyday.
Etymology
The word biocatalytic combines bio- ('life') and catalytic, from catalyst, a 'helper that makes a chemical change go faster'. So biocatalytic describes processes that use natural helpers like enzymes to speed up chemical reactions.
