Having two horn-like or crescent-shaped parts; used especially in anatomy to describe organs with two projecting portions.
From Latin 'bicornis' + '-uate' (variant adjective suffix). Particularly used in medical terminology to describe anatomical features, such as a bicornuate uterus.
A bicornuate uterus—having two distinct chambers instead of one—is a variation found in about 1 in 1,000 people, and it's actually a remnant of our evolutionary history since many mammals still have fully separated bicornuate uteruses for carrying multiple offspring.
