The lines which bisect an angle and the adjacent angle made by producing one of its arms are called the internal and external bisectors of an angle.
What does "external angle bisector" mean? How an angle can be bisected externally?

When two lines cross, two angles are created: generally, one acute angle ( < 90 ) and one obtuse angle. Each of these angles may be bisected; so there are two bisectors (which are at right angles to each other). The description of which one is "internal" and which "external" depends entirely on which side of the intersection—that is, between which two neighbouring rays—you are viewing it from. The bisector coming towards you, or its continuation in the opposite direction, is the internal bisector.
