A bicep, short for the more proper spelling bicept, is a muscle from either of two muscle pairs (right and left) in the body:

In general usage, the biceps is the biceps brachii, the prominent muscle on the inside of each upper arm, popularly associated with bodily strength because it can be flexed very visibly.
Less commonly, the biceps is the biceps femoris, one of the hamstring muscles of the underside of each thigh.

Biceps is Latin for two heads. These muscles are so called because each is made up of two unique parts.

Biceps also refers to a metrical position at which two brevia or one longum can be placed with equivalent ease.

Usage note

Biceps, including the s, is the name for a single one of these muscles. The plural is bicepses. Because biceps sounds like a plural in English, the muscle is often mistakenly called a bicep.
