Morphology
biomechanical = mechanical (transparent) = bio + mechan + ical
The word is transparently built by adding bio- to the already recognizable adjective 'mechanical'.
Etymology
The word biomechanical joins bio- meaning 'life' and mechanical meaning 'like a machine', the same bio- you see in biology. So biomechanical describes looking at living bodies as if they were machines, which is why it refers to the mechanical movement and forces in people and animals.
