adj. relating to or constituting the story of a person's life
adj. containing or consisting of biography
The word "biographical" traces back to Greek roots. "Bio" (from Greek bios) means "life," and "graph" (from Greek graphein) means "to write." The suffix "-ical" (from Latin -icalis) forms adjectives. Combined, these morphemes create a term meaning "pertaining to the writing of a life." The logic reflects the classical tradition of documenting lives, evolving into modern usage for life stories or descriptive accounts.
