Please, does the phrase 'midway through' means 'from midway to the end'?

Thanks.

Midway through means exactly what it appears. You're half-way or midway through, so that means you're not near the end or the beginning, but in the middle. So, "I will join the game midway through," means that you will join the game when the first portion is over and it's not near the end.

If it's a game of two halves, it means that you'll join the game after the first half.

Please, does the phrase 'midway through' means 'from midway to the end'? It means at the point where the game is 50% complete. The implication is that you will play for the rest of the game.

For example:
I will join the game midway through.

According to what I understood, we can remove 'through', and the sentence will still have the same meaning.

Am I right?

Thanks.

Basically, but 'midway through' is a very common expression.

The "through" used with "midway" normally indicates that we're talking about an ongoing process.

They took the lead midway through the second half.
