About half of South America (6)

I believe the answer is:

brazil

(Other definitions for brazil that I've seen before include "Largest Latin American country" , "Fifth-largest country" , "that may be shelled" , "Warm hooded jacket" , "Five-time winners of football's World Cup" .)

I've seen this clue in the Newsday.
