Root Explanation

Semipolitical → It is formed from "semi-" (meaning half) and "political" (from Greek "politikos", meaning of or relating to citizens or the state). The word "semipolitical" refers to something that is partially related to politics or governmental affairs.

Memory Tip

Think of 'semi-' meaning half, and 'political' relating to the state or citizens. This helps you remember that 'semipolitical' describes something that is only partially connected to politics.
