Meaning of "half-slipped and half- fell"
The astrologer was frightened out of his wits. He started to climb down-slowly, shakily. But he was trembling so much that he half-slipped and half-fell from the bael tree..
I can't guess the usage of "half-slipped and half-fell" from a tree.
Please explain this to me.
