Root Explanation

**Demiworld** → It is formed from "demi-" (from French, meaning half or partial) and "world" (from Old English *weorold*, meaning the earthly realm or human existence). The word "demiworld" refers to a partial or lesser world, often used in fantasy contexts to describe a realm that is not fully developed or is a subset of a larger universe.

Memory Tip

Think of 'demi-' meaning 'half' and 'world' referring to the earthly realm. This helps you remember that a 'demiworld' is a partial or lesser version of a world.
