bimonthly
Every two months
Bimonthly means either every two months or twice a month—an ambiguity the word has never shaken.
Context usually clarifies: a bimonthly magazine appears every two months, while bimonthly paychecks come twice monthly.
When precision matters, writers often avoid the word entirely in favor of every other month or twice a month.
