Morphology

multimode = mode (transparent) = multi + mode

The form transparently means 'having multiple modes', though the statistical sense of 'mode' is a specialized one.

Etymology

Multimode has multi- 'many' and mode 'most common value', so a multimode set of numbers has two or more 'peaks' where many values appear, like several hills on a graph. So a multimode distribution shows different common groups in the data.
