from half
A half, specifically one of two equal parts into which something is divided; used in context to indicate a portion equal to one-half of a given measure, quantity, or temporal span. The term can also denote the midpoint or middle of something, often with reference to time (such as the middle of the day). Its primary lexical meaning is 'half,' but it may also be used more abstractly to refer to 'a division into two.'
