    It’s supposed to be -

    semi-monthly means twice a month
    (semi-circle = half a circle = half a month)

    and

    bi-monthly is every other month
    (bicentennial = 2 centuries = 2 months)

    But the terms have been so commonly conflated that dictionaries and style guides reference both definitions (especially for “bi-”)
