Root Explanation

Bilobed → It is formed from "bi-" (meaning two) and "lobus" (from Latin, meaning lobe or rounded projection). The word "bilobed" describes something that has two lobes or rounded parts.

Memory Tip

Think of something that has 'two' ('bi-') 'lobes' ('lobus') — that's why bilobed means having two rounded parts.
