∙ 11y agoPerhaps you mean "What is the meaning of the prefix semi?" Semi means "one-half", such as in "semicircle", "semiconscious", and "semicivilized".
[Sorry, but I thought that everybody knew what a semicircle is: one-half of a circle.]
Also meaning "one-half" are the prefixes "demi" (as in "demigod") and "hemi" (as in "hemisphere").
Putting things together, and we get "demihemisemiquaver",
which is a one-sixtyfourth note in music, since a quaver is a 1/8th note.
