μέσοςmiddle, averageEtymology
Adverbial form of the adjective άμεσος ('immediate, direct'), built from the privative prefix ἀ- ('not, without') plus μέσος ('middle, intermediary'). The literal sense is 'with nothing in between', i.e. without an intervening interval of time or any go-between — hence 'immediately, directly'. The adverbial ending -ως derives the manner adverb from the adjective.
