## AI Etymology
Bicentennial comes from Latin bi- ('two') + centennial, from centum ('hundred') + annus ('year'). The historical trail runs through bi- in Latin, centum in Latin, and annus in Latin. Morphologically, bicentennial is transparent: it draws on Latin bi- ('two') + centennial, from centum ('hundred') + annus ('year'). Used as a noun and adjective, bicentennial now means "a two-hundredth anniversary or its celebration", so the present definition can be read against the older forms and meanings. The same lexical family is also visible in related forms such as centennial, bicentenary, and centenary. The result is a borrowed or transmitted form whose modern spelling carries a compact record of its route into English.
