Morphology
bimonthly = monthly (semi-transparent) = bi + month + ly
Same formation as sense 1 (bi- + monthly); the intended meaning 'every two months' is a standard interpretation of 'bi-' but competes with the 'twice a month' reading.
Etymology
Bimonthly can also mean 'every two months' because bi-, as in bicycle, means 'two' and monthly means 'month'. That's why a magazine or a bill may arrive every other month.
