The term "semi-retractable" refers to an object or mechanism that can partially retract or withdraw but not completely. This feature allows for controlled extension and retraction, often seen in items like semi-retractable awnings, hoses, or certain types of automotive parts. It provides flexibility and convenience while retaining some portion of the object in a fixed position.
