Relating to or having two solid angles or corners; a technical term in geometry and crystallography.
From Greek 'bi-' (two) plus 'asteros' meaning star or angle. This technical term emerged in crystallography to describe minerals or crystals with two distinct angular features.
This word is almost invisible outside of mineralogy and crystallography, but it's a perfect example of how scientists create precise technical vocabulary by combining Greek roots!
