bifurcate

to divide or separate into two parts or branches; fork


Another in the series of “-ate” words, this one comes from Summer Satushek, a loyal reader who suggested it in an email message to me this morning. By the way, bifurcate can also act as an adjective, but then the last syllable sounds more like kut or kit than like kate, which is how the verb’s ending sounds.
