Morphology

bicolor = bicolor (transparent) = bi + color

The adjective is transparently built from bi- meaning 'two' and color, and the noun sense is a direct conversion from that adjective.

Etymology

Bicolor (noun) comes from the parts bi- meaning 'two' and color meaning 'color', the same pieces you find in bilingual or bicycle. So a bicolor is simply a 'two-colored' thing, for example a flag or a flower that shows two colors.
