An antenna or device consisting of two dipoles; a configuration used in certain types of radio and electromagnetic applications.
From 'do-' (prefix, possibly from 'duo' meaning two) plus 'dipole' (from 'di-' meaning two, and 'pole' from Latin 'polus'). A technical term in physics and engineering combining two dipole units.
This word reveals how engineers speak—they stack prefixes like building blocks. A dipole is already 'two poles,' but a dodipole is 'double-dipole,' which sounds redundant until you realize it's a specific technical configuration.
