You have done well in asking because it is only when you ask you get answers to your questions. So asking questions as a newbie to blockchain is not a bad idea because it warrants you to be learn and get more knowledge on how blockchain works.
As you have asked about halving, halving is mostly related to Bitcoin and so far it is likely the only crypto currency that does that and as a matter of fact, we are just some few months to the next Bitcoin halving but however,

"Bitcoin halving is when the reward for Bitcoin mining is cut in half. Halving takes place every four years. The halving policy was written into Bitcoin's mining algorithm to counteract inflation by maintaining scarcity."

You can see that above. You can further do your research by using the search engine to further explore the possibilities surrounding the Bitcoin halving and lots more to further your understanding with the subject matter.

Bitcoin halving is a cycle that takes place after four years and the block reward is halved. The first halving happened in 2012 when block rewards were halved from 50 to 25 every 10 minutes. Bitcoin's fourth halving will begin in 2024. Block reward will then halve from 6.25 to 3.125.

Halving refers to the process of reducing the rewards miners receive for validating and adding new blocks to a blockchain. In cryptocurrency, such as Bitcoin, halving occurs approximately every four years, cutting the reward in half. This mechanism aims to control the coin's supply, creating scarcity and potentially increasing its value over time. The most well-known example is Bitcoin's halving, where the block reward is halved every 210,000 blocks. This event has significant implications for the cryptocurrency market, often influencing supply and demand dynamics and impacting the overall ecosystem.

You must have heard a lot about halving in cryptocurrency. But this applies more to Bitcoin. Because bitcoin drops in value at the beginning of each year and increases in value at the end of the year. Which I think is a halving part. Halving means cutting something. Bitcoin depreciates or cuts its share every year in order to survive inflation. This is basically what halving means in digital currency. If you want, you can check the survey about it and do some more research so that you have a clear idea about this topic.

You already got your answer on what halving is all about, but I would like to add that, halving is not something that is Peculiar to cryptocurrencies, especially bitcoin alone, the word "halving" is also available in the English dictionary, and here is how Google defines it...

reduction by half.
"he blames the halving of international oil prices since 2014"
2.
a method of fitting two pieces of timber together by cutting out half the thickness of each.
"the mitre halving has a neater appearance"

So, halving in real world also means for something to be divided into two or half.
Halving in cryptocurrency, most especially bitcoin is just as other users here have explained it, and that is that miners reward being divided by half, this happens in every 4 years cycle, and will continue so until every single bitcoin is mined.

Let's do some basic economics.

When there is high inflation, an asset simply continues to declined and fall in value but when it becomes a very limited, it creates a lot of demand and because the supply has shrink and we have more people that need such assets but it's not available and hence people want to pay more price to get the bitcoin of their choice. The more the bitcoin supply is reducing, the more the price keep appreciating, that's exactly what bitcoin does.

Bitcoin has a total supply of 21 millions, that means that the total amount of bitcoin that will ever be created is 21 million and right now, the available circulating supply is 19.1, which means that we have more 1.9 million more to be mined but the rate at which miners get this bitcoin is halve in every four yeara, that's the exactly how mining work.

Miners are just people that help protect the bitcoin blockchain, the help confirm transaction and in return they get bitcoin anytime they mined a block and right now, they earn about 6.25 bitcoin from the remaining lock supply which I stated to be about 1.9 million remaining. So by next year, the amount they earn will reduce by half again to 3.125 bitcoin per block.

Halving basically means reducing something. In Bitcoin, the value of a bitcoin is halved every five years within the 210,000 block chain known as halving. Bitcoin cuts its entire assets in half to protect against inflation and leaves it for the future. By doing this, Bitcoin preserves its value for the future, and when the time comes, the value of Bitcoin will rise again.‌ These blog chains continue to operate according to its rules.

Just a correction, the Bitcoin halving actually happens every four years or after 210,000 blocks have been mined, it does not happen every five years as you have previously said. It might lead someone to misunderstand your message and assume that the halving occurs every five years.
