semicolon
1 ENTRIES FOUND:
semicolon
noun
semi·co·lon ˈse-mē-ˌkō-lən 
ˈse-ˌmī-,
-mi-
: a punctuation mark; used chiefly in a coordinating function between major sentence elements (such as independent clauses of a compound sentence)
Did you know?
The semicolon was introduced into modern type by an Italian printer around 1566. But since it's actually the same symbol as the ancient Greek question mark, it's older than the colon (:), which first appears around 1450. Don't mix the two up. A colon introduces something: usually a list, sometimes a statement. A semicolon separates two independent but related clauses; it may also replace the comma to separate items in a complicated list.
Check out our guide on how and when to use semicolons.
