Why is the suffix zoic part of so many names on the Geologic Time Scale?

The suffix zoic comes from the greek for animal. This is used as a suffix in various parts of the geological time scale as it relates to the stage of development of life on earth.
For example the Proterozoic broadly means "earlier life" and represents a period before the development of abundant complex life on Earth, whereas the Phanerozoicmeans "visible life" as it is an Eon in which abundant animal life has existed.
