Morphology

bilevel = level (transparent) = bi + level

The noun denotes a vehicle with two seating floors; this directly corresponds to 'two + level' and is transparent.

Etymology

Bilevel comes from bi- 'two' and level 'floor', and is like a 'double-decker' vehicle. That is why a bilevel car is a train car with two floors to carry more passengers.
