OriginMid 17th century: from Latin, literally 'two-headed', from bi- 'two' + -ceps (from caput 'head'). This Latin word means literally ‘two-headed’, from bi- ‘two’ and -ceps (from caput ‘head’), from the fact that the muscle has two points of attachment. Examples of bicep have been found since the 1970s, suggesting that people are beginning to see the word as a plural (compare pea).
