Origin & History

From half + cooked; literal sense 'partly cooked' extended to figurative use meaning 'incompletely developed' (similar to half-baked).

half + cooked से बना; शाब्दिक अर्थ 'आधा/अधपका' से आगे बढ़कर लाक्षणिक अर्थ में 'पूरी तरह विकसित न हुआ/अधूरा' के लिए प्रयोग (half-baked जैसा)।

Definition

Half-cooked describes food that is only partly cooked and still raw or underdone inside; figuratively it means an idea, plan, or argument that is incomplete or poorly developed.

Half-cooked का अर्थ है ऐसा भोजन जो पूरी तरह पका न हो और अंदर से कच्चा/अधपका रह गया हो; लाक्षणिक रूप से यह ऐसे विचार, योजना या तर्क के लिए भी用 होता है जो अधूरा या ठीक से विकसित/तैयार न हो।
