Root Explanation

Biographically → It is formed from "bio-" (from Greek "bios", meaning life) and "graphy" (from Greek "grapho", meaning to write). The word "biographically" refers to writing about someone's life or the manner in which life is recorded.

Memory Tip

Think of 'bio-' meaning life and 'graphy' meaning writing — so biographically means writing about life.
