Root Explanation

Demigoddess → It is formed from "demi-" (from French, meaning half) and "goddess" (from Old English "goddess", meaning a female deity). The word "demigoddess" refers to a being that is half a goddess or possesses some divine qualities but is not fully divine.

Memory Tip

Think of 'demi-' meaning 'half' and 'goddess' as a female deity — a demigoddess is someone who is half a goddess.
