What does BIFORM mean in Scrabble?
adjective
literaryrare
Having two distinct forms, or combining the shapes of two different creatures in one body.
Biform is a learned word for anything that carries a double nature in its shape. Mythology offers the clearest examples, since a centaur, a mermaid or a sphinx can each be called biform, being part human and part animal. Writers also use it more loosely for objects or ideas that show two faces at once. The word is uncommon, and its relative biformed carries the same meaning.
