If (h_n-1)/(k_n-1), (h_n)/(k_n) are successive convergents, then any fraction of the form (h_n-1+ah_n)/(k_n-1+ak_n), where a is a nonnegative integer and the numerators and denominators are between the n and n+1 terms inclusive, is a semiconvergent. semiconvertible Having a retractable textile roof. semiconvex Having the property that for every compact subset of the domain, there exists a constant C such that f(x) + ½C|x|² is convex on the subset. semicopula A word having a similar function to a copula, such as feel or seem in English. semicordate Somewhat or partially cordate. semicordiform Somewhat or halfway cordiform. semicoriaceous Somewhat or partly coriaceous. semicorneous Partly horny. semicoronate Having the form of a semicoronet. semicoronet A line of spines half surrounding a part. semicoroutine A type of coroutine with limited control over its execution flow that can yield values multiple times, suspending its execution and allowing the caller to resume it later. However, unlike full coroutines, semicoroutines do not specify where the execution will continue after yielding; control is always returned to the caller. semicovariant A covariant form of a cumulant semicovered Partially covered. semicovering A projection that has the property that for any projection onto its image, it is possible to find a corresponding projection onto its domain such that locally constant regions about a point projected onto the image have locally constant images in the domain. semicovert Somewhat or partly covert. semicraspedodromous craspedodromous but with one of the branches terminating at the margin, the other joining the superadjacent secondary vein semicreative Somewhat creative. semicrescent A half crescent. semicrescentic In the shape of a half crescent. semicriminal Half or partly criminal. semicrisp Somewhat or partly crisp. semicritical Very important, but ranked below critical. semicroma A semiquaver. semicrouch A partial crouch. semicrustaceous partially crustaceous semicryptic Somewhat cryptic or enigmatic. semicrystal A semicrystalline material semicrystallic Partly crystallic semicrystalline Partially crystalline (and partially amorphous). semicrystallized Partially crystallized semicubical Of or relating to the square root of the cube of a quantity. semicultivated Partially cultivated. semicup A half-cup shape (cut vertically). semicupium A half bath, or one that covers only the lower extremities and the hips; a sitz bath. semicurious Somewhat or partly curious. semicursive Partially cursive. semicurvilinear Somewhat or partly curvilinear. semicuspidal Pertaining to a singularity that is not smooth. semicustomized Partially customized. semicyclic Describing a polygon that is inscribed within a circle and has one of its sides being the diameter semicylinder Half of a cylinder (cut along its axis) semicylindrical Having the shape of a semicylinder. semicynical Half or partly cynical. semicystic Including both cysts and pronounced solid sections. semidangerous Half or partly dangerous. semidark semidarkness semidarkened Partially darkened. semidarkness Partial or near darkness, dimness, twilight. semidaylight Partial daylight.

The fuel is sprayed into an iron box (called a hot bulb or hot pot) opening into the combustion chamber, and heated for ignition by a blast lamp until the engine is running, when it is ordinarily kept red-hot by the heat of combustion. semidigested Partially digested semidilapidated Partly dilapidated. semidilapidation The condition of being partly dilapidated. semidilute Moderately dilute semidiluted Partially diluted semidiode A diode constructed from semiconductors rather than valves semidirect Neither unqualifiedly direct nor unqualifiedly indirect. semidirectional Partially directional semidisabled Somewhat or partly disabled. semidiscreet Somewhat discreet. semidiscrete Partially discrete. semidiscretization Partial discretization semidisk A half disk. semidistributive Partially distributive semiditone The lesser third, having its terms as 6 to 5 semidiurnal Twice daily (usually of tides). semidiurnally Twice daily. semidivided Partly divided. semidivine Synonym of demidivine. semidocumentary a drama (film, book or TV) that presents a fictional story incorporating many factual details or actual events
