a half-holiday

In an example of the use of article a, I found this clause: a half-holiday

Because English is my foreign language, I am very much confused about the meaning. Could you please tell me what it means?
Thanks.

Re: a half-holiday

A holiday is a "a day on which work is suspended by law or custom".

A half-holiday is "a day on which half is free from work or duty".
