Linguistic Origin & Historical Etymology

Derived from the prefix 'bi-' (meaning 'two' or 'both') combined with 'sexual', originating in the late 19th century from biological terminology describing organisms with characteristics of both sexes. By the mid-20th century, the term shifted from biology and psychiatry into sociological and psychological lexicons to describe human sexual orientation involving attraction to more than one gender.
