Morphology
bidirectional = directional (transparent) = bi + direction + al
The adjective is clearly formed by adding the prefix 'bi-' (two) to 'directional', so its meaning 'having or allowing two directions' follows directly.
Etymology
The word bidirectional is made of the prefix bi- meaning 'two' and the root direction meaning 'a way' or 'path', the same bi- you see in bicycle. So something bidirectional works in two directions, like a two-way street or a motor that can turn both ways.
