Surface Forms

bimestrial positive

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' and includes the idea of month, so it literally means 'two months long'. That's why a bimestrial review covers a period of two months.
