Definición
To divide something into two equal parts or to reduce something by 50%.
Uso & Matices
Used for both literal splitting (cutting something in half) and for describing reductions ('halve the price'). More formal or mathematical than 'cut in half', but both are common. 'Halve' is a verb; 'half' is the noun/adjective.
