Origin

Late Middle English: from medieval Latin intermediatus, from Latin intermedius, from inter- 'between' + medius 'middle'.

  • mediocre from late 16th century:

    Mediocre is from Latin mediocris used to mean ‘of middle height or degree’, but literally ‘somewhat rugged or mountainous’, from medius ‘middle’ and ocris ‘rugged mountain’. Medius also gives us medium (late 16th century) and intermediate (Late Middle English), while meridian (Late Middle English) goes back to Latin meridianum ‘noon’ from medius dies ‘middle of the day’.
