Surface Forms

binitarian singular

binitarians plural

Morphology

binitarian = binit + arian

The noun senses derives from the same formation (binit- + -arian); the meaning 'one who holds the two-person view' is reasonably inferable if a learner recognises bi-/binit- and -arian, but 'binit-' itself is not an independent English word.

Etymology

Binitarian comes from the part bi- 'two' and the ending in trinitarian, so a binitarian is a person who believes God exists as 'two' persons or aspects rather than 'three'.
