Relating to or involving two distinct cultures, especially when blending or comparing them together.
From bi- (two) + cultural (from Latin cultura, meaning cultivation). This term emerged in the 20th century as societies increasingly recognized individuals and communities engaging with multiple cultural traditions simultaneously.
The concept of biculturalism exploded in the 1960s-70s as immigration patterns changed and people stopped feeling pressured to abandon their heritage. Now it's so common that many don't realize their bicultural identity shapes everything from the foods they eat to how they celebrate holidays.
