Morphology

bizonal = zone (transparent) = bi + zone + al

The word 'bizonal' is formed by adding the prefix 'bi-' to the base word 'zone'.

Etymology

The word bizonal combines bi- 'two' and zone 'area', so it literally means 'about two areas'. That's why bizonal is used for something that covers or manages two zones, for example the administration after the war in Germany.
