Morphology
biostatistics = statistics + bio (semi-transparent) = bio + statistics
The word is built from the combining form bio- plus statistics, but the specialized field sense is slightly technical rather than fully predictable for a beginning learner.
Etymology
Biostatistics joins bio- meaning 'life', as in biology, and statistics meaning 'numbers about groups'. So biostatistics is the use of numbers and data to study living things.
