Morphology
biomathematics = mathematics (semi-transparent) = bio + mathematics
The meaning is largely recoverable from bio- plus mathematics, but it is a specialized scholarly term rather than an everyday composition.
Etymology
The word biomathematics comes from bio- meaning 'life' and mathematics meaning 'numbers and patterns'. So, biomathematics is like using math to read and predict the patterns of living things, which is why scientists use it to model things like disease spread.
