twopointed

Twopointed is an English adjective meaning having two points, tips, or prongs. It is used to describe objects or forms that end in two distinct points, in contrast to a single apex or a rounded tip. The term is primarily descriptive and is not tied to a single technical discipline.

The word derives from two and pointed and is attested in general language from the early modern period onward.

In usage, twopointed describes items such as a two-pointed spear, a two-pronged tool, or a stylized motif with two sharp tips. In heraldry and design, it may indicate symmetry with two terminating points. In botany or zoology, it may appear informally to describe structures with two tips, though more precise terms are preferred in scientific writing.

Synonyms and related terms include bipointed, two-pronged, and two-pointed. Depending on context, writers may choose the most specific term available to convey the exact arrangement of points or tips.
