semifinally

副词 adv.

英文释义

副词 adv.
  1. Almost finally; penultimately. not-comparable
    — Semifinally, when a pronoun is involved, the possessive case is invariable: “Dick is a friend of hers,” not “Dick is a friend of her.” Finally, despite the not infrequent questions that are raised, the double genitive is of long standing, idiomatic, useful and here to stay.

词源

From semi- + finally.
