Partly human or partially resembling a human; having some but not all human characteristics.
From 'demi-' (half) + 'human,' which comes from Latin 'humanus.' The word describes creatures with both human and non-human qualities, common in mythology and fantasy.
Every culture has demihuman creatures—mermaids, centaurs, fauns—because humans are fascinated by the boundary between human and animal, using these mixed creatures to explore what makes us uniquely human.
