Origin: Greek 'organikos' (instrumental)
Usage Note
Organique covers both the scientific sense (organic chemistry, organic compounds) and the food/agriculture sense (organically grown). In the food sense, the label agriculture biologique and its abbreviation bio are far more common in everyday French than organique; learners should prefer bio for food contexts.
