Root Explanation

Bistate is formed from "bi-" (meaning two) and "state" (from Latin "status", meaning condition or position). The word refers to something that exists in two different states or conditions.

Memory Tip

Think of 'bi-' meaning two, and 'state' referring to a condition — so bistate means having two conditions.
