    Default a solid word

    Halfhearted is considered a solid word.

    I do mean that hyphenation is excluded. In other words, it is not a hyphenated term. Does this make sense to native speakers?

    'Solid word' is not a recognised expression.

    Both 'half-hearted' and 'halfhearted' are used.
