Bittersweet can mean an outcome for something that was wished for, but with unforeseen consequences. (The film's ending was bittersweet...)

Bittersweet or bitter sweet is best described as something that is both good and bad at the same time. You go home to be with your family because of a death is bitter, but seeing your family after a long time away is also sweet. "My return home for the funeral was bittersweet."

It can also mean sweet, yet bitter, to the taste. That chocolate was bittersweet.
