Morphology
semiquantitative = quantitative (transparent) = semi + quant + itative
The word is formed transparently by adding semi- to quantitative, giving the clear meaning 'partly quantitative'.
Etymology
The word semiquantitative combines semi- ('partly' or 'half') and quantitative (from quantity, 'amount'). So, a semiquantitative measurement gives a rough or approximate amount rather than an exact number.
