semiannual
Every six months
Semiannual means occurring twice a year: semiannual dental checkups, a semiannual report.
The word is sometimes confused with biannual, which means the same thing, and biennial, which means every two years.
Semiannual is clearer because the prefix semi- unambiguously means half.
