Morphology
binucleate = nucleate (semi-transparent) = bi + nucle + ate
The meaning is compositionally related to 'bi-' plus 'nucleate', but the stem is technical and not highly accessible to average learners.
Etymology
The word binucleate combines bi- meaning 'two' and nucleus meaning 'core' or 'center', a root you see in nucleus and nuclear. So a binucleate cell simply has 'two cores', that is, two nuclei inside one cell.
