"Hälfte" meaning in All languages combined

See Hälfte on Wiktionary

Noun [German]

IPA: /ˈhɛlftə/ Audio: De-Hälfte.ogg
Etymology: From Middle Low German helfte, derived from half (“half”). The form entered Early Modern German via Central German. Equivalent to halb (“half”) + -te. The alternation -b- ↔ -ft- has not been levelled, probably because the same alternation occurs also—for different reasons—in native High German words (compare schreiben ↔ Schrift). Cognate with Dutch helft.
