Morphology
bioscientific = scientific (semi-transparent) = bio + science + ific
The word is built by adding the combining form bio- to scientific, but the resulting technical meaning is only partially predictable for an average learner.
Etymology
Bioscientific combines bio- meaning 'life' and scientific from science meaning 'study' or 'knowledge', just like in biology. So, bioscientific describes scientific study or work about living things.
