A six letter word, that when you take out its last letter, becomes half of its meaning. What word is it?

(In reply to Am I trying too hard? by Bob Smith)

I agree with you, Bob, and I hope (though my knowledge in English is too poor), that the answer will be something like "eighty" ---> "eight" ---->(one-tenth). In this problem is half.
