Morphology
bipartisanship = bipartisan (transparent) = bi + partisan + ship
Formed by adding the noun-forming suffix '-ship' to 'bipartisan', a clear and productive derivation.
Etymology
Bipartisanship combines bi- meaning 'two' and partisan, which is like a 'party' or political group. So bipartisanship means people from two different parties agreeing or working together, even when they often disagree.
