What does the suffix -bios mean?

The suffix "-bios" comes from the Greek word "bios" which means "life".

Therefore, the suffix "-bios" generally refers to life, living things, or biological processes.

Here are some examples:

* Biology: the study of life

* Biochemistry: the chemistry of living organisms

* Biotechnology: the use of living organisms for technological purposes

* Biodiversity: the variety of life on Earth

It's important to note that sometimes "-bios" is used in a more abstract sense, referring to the way something functions or operates.

For example, "bios" can be used to refer to the firmware or software that allows a computer to start up, or to the operating system of a computer.
