Bipartisan describes an action or decision that is supported by two different political parties, especially major ones that usually compete with each other. It often suggests cooperation or compromise.
From “bi-” meaning “two” and “partisan,” from French and Italian words for a supporter of a party or cause. It literally means “involving two parties.”
When something is called “bipartisan,” it’s a signal that rivals found rare common ground. In polarized systems, that label can matter more for public trust than the actual details of the policy.
