Morphology

bilobed = lobed (transparent) = bi + lobe + ed

Formed by adding the prefix 'bi-' (two) to 'lobed' so the meaning 'having two lobes' is directly predictable from the parts.

Etymology

Bilobed comes from bi- meaning 'two' and lobe meaning 'a rounded part', the same lobe you see in earlobe. So, bilobed describes something that is split into two rounded sections.
