Morphology

bipartite = partite (transparent) = bi + partite

Formed by prefixing 'bi-' (two) to 'partite' (divided into parts), producing 'consisting of two parts/parties'.

Etymology

Bipartite comes from bi- 'two' and part 'part', like in the familiar word bicycle where bi- means 'two'. So a bipartite agreement or structure has two parts or two sides.
