half-horse
Hybrid mythical creature
Half-horse describes something that is part horse and part something else—most often a mythological creature like a centaur (half-horse, half-human) or hippogriff (half-horse, half-eagle).
The term can modify nouns directly: a half-horse creature from Greek mythology.
Informally, it sometimes describes something inadequate or incomplete: It was a half-horse effort at best.
