词源
from Greek hēmi-; related to Latin semi-.
hemi-, prefix|ˈhɛmɪ-, ˈhiːmɪ-|[a. Gr. ἡµι-, combining element, from earlier *σᾱµι- = L. sēmi-, Skr. sāmi-, OTeut. *sâmi-, OE. sam-, all meaning ‘half-’. Several Gr. words containing this element were in use as technical terms in later L., e.g. hēmicyclium, hēmīna, hēmisphærium, hēmistichium. In the modern langs. they are very numerous, not only in terms adopted or adapted from Gr. (directly or through L.), but in new formations, scientific or technical, from Greek, or on Greek analogies. Words formed from Latin have the corresponding prefix semi-; but there are instances of hybridism in the use of both prefixes.]a. Half-; one half, the half, pertaining to or affecting one half; esp. in Anat., Biol., and Path. Pertaining to one of the two halves (right and left) of the body, or of any of its symmetrical organs. b. In Crystallography, denoting that a crystal has only half the number of faces which belong to the corresponding holohedral or perfect form; hemisymmetrical; as hemi forms, hemi-icositetrahedron, hemi-octahedron (hence hemi-octahedral adj.), hemi-scalenohedron, hemi-trisoctahedron, hemihedron, etc. (See also hemidome, -prism, -pyramid.) c. In Chemistry, formerly applied to binary compounds in which the combining proportion of the electro-negative or chlorous radical, was supposed to be one half that of the electro-positive or basylous radical, as in ‘hemichloride of copper’, Cu2Cl (now Cu{pp}Cl or Cu2Cl2, cuprous chloride), ‘hemioxide of copper’, Cu4O (now Cu2O, cuprous oxide). These were called hemi-compounds. So hemi-hydrate, a compound of one molecule of hydroxyl (HO) with two molecules of an element or radical. Now frequently used to form the name of a derivative body, in which some constituent is present in half the proportion, or in a smaller proportion, than in other members of the group, as in hemibromhydrin, 2C3H8O3+HBr-4H2O (compared with monobromhydrin, C3H8O3 + HBr-H2O), or which forms one of the two substances into which a body may be split up, as in hemialbumin, hemicollin.The following are compounds of hemi- in less general use; words of greater importance follow in their alphabetic places.‖ hemiaˈblepsia Path.
