biomechanicsn.

Brit.

/ˌbʌɪə(ʊ)mᵻˈkanɪks/, U.S.

/ˌbaɪəməˈkænɪks/

Origin: Formed within English, by compounding. Etymons: bio- comb. form, mechanics n.

Etymology: < bio- comb. form + mechanics n. With sense 1 compare French biomécanique (1898, originally in the sense ‘transformism’), and earlier biomechanical adj. In sense 2 after Russian biomexanika (1922 or earlier in this sense; introduced by V. E. Meyerhold (1874–1940), Russian dramatist and director: compare quot. 1924¹).

1. With singular (or occasionally plural) agreement. The branch of science concerned with the application of mechanical principles to the movement and structure of living organisms; (in later use) the biomechanical properties of (part of) a living organism, esp. a human athlete.
