EN: to be reduced by half
This is what happens to your sahod a day after payday. Or when you decide to share your large fries with your 'tropa' and suddenly, poof, it's half gone. It's the tragic magic of things getting halved.
From `mang-` (verb prefix) + `kalahati` (half).
ROOT MEANING: half
`Kalahati` is the root, which itself is from `ka-` + `hati` (divide).
