Definition
Moderately elevated or partially high; not fully high but somewhat above average in height or position.
Etymology
From 'demi-' (half) + 'high,' which comes from Old English 'hēah.' The combination indicates a degree that is less than full but more than low, a comparative state of elevation.
Kelly Says
The prefix 'demi-' was used to describe almost any graduated measurement—demihigh could describe architecture, music pitch, or social status, showing how medieval people liked to think of things as existing on precise scales.
