means A drug made by harnessing living cells (bacteria, yeast, or cultured animal cells) to manufacture complex biological molecules like proteins, antibodies, or hormones, rather than synthesizing them through standard chemical reactions.

from A 20th-century compound stitched together from 'bio-' (Greek 'bios', life) and 'pharmaceutical' (tracing back through Latin to Greek 'pharmakeutikos', relating to drugs or 'pharmakon', meaning both remedy and poison). The word itself is young, coined as genetic engineering in the late 1970s and 1980s made it possible to put human genes into bacteria or cells and have them churn out insulin, growth hormone, and antibodies — medicine grown rather than cooked up in a reaction flask.
