Bifidities

/baɪˈfɪdɪtiz/ noun

Definition

Plural of bifidity; multiple instances or varieties of the state of being split into two parts.

Etymology

From 'bifidity' plus the plural suffix '-ies.' The root 'bifid' comes from Latin 'bifidus' (split in two), with the suffix '-ity' creating an abstract noun describing the quality or condition.

Kelly Says

The plural 'bifidities' is rarely used, which is actually fascinating—it suggests that scientists usually talk about bifidity as a general property rather than counting up multiple types of splitness!
