Morphology
bimonthly = monthly (semi-transparent) = bi + month + ly
The noun is formed from the same elements (bi- + monthly) and inherits the ambiguously dual temporal readings, so interpretation depends on context.
Etymology
Bimonthly as a noun names a magazine or journal with a schedule based on bi- 'two' and monthly 'month', so it can mean either 'twice a month' or 'every two months' depending on the publisher.
