Examples of words that start with semi?

Answer 1

Many words use the prefix "semi" (halfway) with a hyphen. ("Semi-sweet chocolate")("Semi-final game")("Semi-trailer") Some words have lost hyphenation, sometimes through use. ("Semiconscious")("Semiquaver")

Answer 2

Perhaps you mean "What is the meaning of the prefix semi?" Semi means "one-half", such as in "semicircle", "semiconscious", and "semicivilized".

[Sorry, but I thought that everybody knew what a semicircle is: one-half of a circle.]

Also meaning "one-half" are the prefixes "demi" (as in "demigod") and "hemi" (as in "hemisphere").

Putting things together, and we get "demihemisemiquaver",

which is a one-sixtyfourth note in music, since a quaver is a 1/8th note.
