Morphology

bicoastal = coastal (transparent) = bi + coast + al

The meaning is a straightforward combination of bi- 'two' and coastal, referring to both coasts.

Etymology

Bicoastal comes from bi- meaning 'two' as in bicycle, and coast meaning 'land by the sea'. So it literally means 'on two coasts' and describes living, working, or having places on both the east and west coasts.
