semi
Large freight truck
Semi is a prefix meaning half or partly: semicircle, semiconscious, semiannual.
On its own, semi is informal shorthand for a semitrailer truck—the large rigs hauling freight on highways: A semi jackknifed on the interstate.
In British English, semi alone often means a semidetached house—one sharing a wall with its neighbor.
