biologis

Biologis is an adjective used in Indonesian and other languages to mean "biological" or "relating to biology." It describes attributes, processes, and phenomena connected with living organisms. In scientific writing, it appears in expressions such as pendekatan biologis (biological approach), fungsi biologis (biological function), and struktur biologis (biological structure). While biologis is primarily adjectival, it can also appear in compound terms that designate topics tied to biology. It is not a separate field of study; rather, it serves to qualify terms within biology and related life sciences.

Biologis derives from biology, which itself traces to the Greek bios (life) and logia (study). In Indonesian, the noun for the science is biologi, and biologis functions as the adjectival form. The term is used across biology, medicine, ecology, and anatomy to describe characteristics, mechanisms, and theories involving living systems. In English, the closest translation is biological.

Not a discipline in itself, biologis is a cross-cutting descriptor used across the life sciences. Its precise meaning depends on context and language conventions, so authors should follow standard terminology in their field. See also biology, biological sciences.
