Semi refers to the trailer. A semi trailer is a trailer without front axles so a large portion of the weight is supported by the truck.

When a road tractor is hooked to a semi trailer it is often called a semi truck.

Semi trailers can be converted to full trailers by using a dolly converter but they are still considered semi trailers.

A true full trailer has a non removable front axle and all the weight is carried by the trailer wheels.
