Morphology
binary = bi (semi-transparent) = bi + bin + ary
Formally from 'bi-' + '-ary', but the technical sense 'compiled executable' depends on domain knowledge about machine-level binary data and is not immediately inferable to all learners.
Etymology
Binary comes from the Latin part bi- meaning 'two', just like in bicycle. A computer binary is a file written in machine code made of two values, '0' and '1', so it is called a 'binary' program.
