Root Explanation

Biforate → It is formed from "bi-" (meaning two) and "forare" (meaning to pierce or bore). The word describes the action of piercing or boring in two directions or openings.

Memory Tip

Think of 'two' ('bi-') holes being 'pierced' ('forare') — that's why biforate means to have two openings.
