A place or state that is partly paradisiacal; somewhat heavenly or blissful but not completely perfect.
From 'demi-' (half) + 'paradise' (from Persian 'pairidaeza' through Greek and Latin). This poetic compound emerged in English Romantic literature to describe places of partial beauty or incomplete bliss.
Shakespeare called England 'a demi-paradise' in Richard II—he meant it as the closest thing to heaven on earth, but still imperfect because it was ruled by humans.
