Surface Forms

Morphology

bimestrial = mestrual (semi-transparent) = bi + mestr + ial

The prefix 'bi-' suggests 'two', but the root 'mestr' is not a standalone English word, making the meaning less accessible.

Etymology

Bimestrial begins with bi- 'two' (the same bi- in bicycle) and includes the idea of month, so it can mean 'every two months'. So a bimestrial newsletter comes out once every two months.
