Morphology

bicapsular = capsular (transparent) = bi + capsul + ar

The prefix 'bi-' clearly indicates 'two', and 'capsular' relates to capsules, making the meaning straightforward.

Etymology

Bicapsular breaks into bi- meaning 'two', as in bicycle, and capsule meaning 'a small box or container', like a medicine capsule. So bicapsular describes something made of two connected 'small boxes' or parts, which is why scientists use it for organs or fruits split into two sections.
