Lifræðilegum

Lifræðilegum is an Icelandic adjective meaning "biological". It is derived from the word "líf" which means "life" and "fræði" which means "science" or "study". Therefore, lifræðilegum directly translates to "pertaining to the science of life" or "biological".

For example, one might discuss lifræðilegum ferlum (biological processes) such as photosynthesis or cellular respiration.

In scientific discourse, lifræðilegum is a fundamental term used across disciplines like biology, medicine, and ecology. It helps to distinguish between biological factors and other types of influences, such as chemical, physical, or social ones. When discussing lifræðilegum uppruna (biological origin), it signifies that something originates from a living organism or is a result of natural biological processes. The term can also be used in more general contexts, for instance, when referring to lifræðilegum takmörkunum (biological limitations) inherent to a species.
