Having two heads, summits, or points of origin; a more formal or archaic variant of bicipital.
From Latin 'bi-' (two) combined with 'caput' (head) plus the suffix '-ous'. This formal adjective appears in older anatomical and scientific texts from the 17th and 18th centuries.
While 'bicipitous' sounds like a dinosaur name, it's actually a real anatomical term that appears in old medical texts—language evolution means modern doctors use 'bicipital' instead, but the Latin root meaning is identical!
