By Arika Okrent | Oct 11, 2016 Semi-, from the Latin for "half". It is the most common and the earliest to show up in English. It was first used, with the straight sense of "half," in the word semicircular, but soon attached to concepts that were harder to quantify. Hemi-, from the Greek for "half". Demi-, from Old French. It means half, partially, or something that is slightly inferior.
