Morphology

bicolored = colored (transparent) = bi + color + ed

The final step is adding the productive prefix 'bi-' (two) to the common adjective 'colored', which straightforwardly yields 'having two colors'.

Etymology

The word bicolored is made of the parts bi- 'two' and color 'color', just like in bicycle, so it simply means something that has two different colors.
