Origin & History

From the combination of half + done, used adjectivally to mean ‘partly completed’; hyphenation is common when placed before a noun (a half-done job).

half (आधा) + done (किया हुआ/पूरा किया हुआ) के संयोजन से बना विशेषण; अर्थ ‘आंशिक रूप से पूरा’ है; संज्ञा से पहले आने पर अक्सर हाइफ़न लगाया जाता है (a half-done job)।

Definition

कोई काम जो केवल आंशिक रूप से किया गया हो या लापरवाही से किया गया हो, जिससे वह स्वीकार्य स्तर तक पूरा नहीं माना जाता।
