Morphology

bimotored = bimotor (transparent) = bi + motor + ed

Formed by adding the adjectival suffix '-ed' to 'bimotor', which itself transparently combines 'bi-' + 'motor' to mean 'two motors'.

Etymology

Bimotored is made of bi- meaning 'two' and motor meaning 'engine', so it means 'having two engines'. That's why a bimotored vehicle or plane uses two motors for more power or safety.
