partially open
Not fully shut
Partially open describes something that is neither fully closed nor fully open—a door left ajar, a window cracked for air, a lid not quite sealed.
The phrase often implies incompleteness or transition: The store was partially open during renovations.
It can also describe abstract things like access or availability: The records are only partially open to the public.
