What is a Semi?

I was on the way back with my dad from the temple, when I saw a Semi-Truck pass our car. The question popped in my head: Why is a Semi-Truck, called a Semi? Is it half a truck? What is NOT a Semi truck? What's a full truck? Is a Semi truck a truck that can disconect with it the cargo thing, so it would just be the front part of the truck and nothing else driving?



Just a strange question for strange people from a strange kid...


There's a list of questions like that.

Why are "stands" made for sitting?

How can a house burn up, when a house actually burns down?

Why do people say "Heads up!" When it should be "Heads down!"?

Why do you put a suit in a brief case, and briefs in a suitcase?

Why do you drive cars on a parkway, and park cars in a drive way?



Does any one have any others?
