halving
Dividing by two
Halving is cutting something in two equal parts, or reducing it by half.
In carpentry, a halving joint connects two pieces of wood by removing half the thickness from each where they overlap.
In cryptocurrency, a halving is a scheduled reduction—typically by half—in mining rewards: Bitcoin's halving events occur roughly every four years.
