Etymology
a- + bio- + genese, first part from Greek α- (a-, “a-, an-, in-, un-, -less”), from Ancient Greek ἀ- (a-, “not, without”), from Proto-Hellenic *ə- (“un-, not; without, lacking”), from Proto-Indo-European *n̥- (“not, un-”). Middle part from Ancient Greek βίος (bíos, “life”), either from *gʷih₃wós (“alive, living”), with the suffix *-wós, or from βίοτος (bíotos, “life”), from Proto-Indo-European *gʷih₃wo-teh₂ or *gʷih₃-etos (“life”), both from *gʷeyh₃- (“to live”). Last part from genesis (“creation, origin”), from Ancient Greek γένεσις (génesis, “creation, origin, source”), from Proto-Hellenic *génetis (“origin, source”), from Proto-Indo-European *ǵénh₁tis (“birth, production”), from *ǵenh₁- (“to produce, beget, give birth”) + the suffix *-tis (derives abstract/action nouns).

βίος', Ancient Greek Nouns '
