Morphology

multimodal = modal (transparent) = multi + modal

The word is transparently formed by adding multi- 'many' to modal, so the statistical meaning is directly recoverable from the parts.

Etymology

Multimodal comes from multi- 'many' and mode 'way' or 'type'. So a multimodal distribution has 'many modes' — several common values or peaks in the data.
