A "score" is a term that refers to a period of 20 years. Therefore, half a score would be 10 years. The term is often used in historical contexts, such as in Abraham Lincoln's famous Gettysburg Address, which begins with "Four score and seven years ago."
"Four score and six years" refers to a time period of 86 years. A "score" is equal to 20 years, so four score amounts to 80 years, and adding six gives a total of 86. This phrase is famously used in Abraham Lincoln's Gettysburg Address, where he begins with "Four score and seven years ago," which refers to 87 years prior to the speech in 1863.
