Etymology

Medie comes from Latin media, the feminine form of medius, meaning middle. The sense shifted from middle or intermediate to the modern mathematical meaning of average, a value that sits in the middle of a set of numbers. The word entered Romanian as part of the core Latin inheritance, not as a later borrowing.
