Morphology

bicorned = bicorn (semi-transparent) = bi + corn + ed

Formed from 'bicorn' + '-ed'; 'bi-' signals 'two' but the combining form 'corn' meaning 'horn' is not a modern standalone word and may be confused with 'corn' (grain), so the relation is partly clear but potentially misleading for learners.

Etymology

Bicorned comes from bi- meaning 'two' and corn meaning 'horn', just like unicorn ('one horn'), so bicorned means 'having two horns'.
