Etymology
Mijlociu is built from the Romanian noun mijloc, meaning middle or means, plus the adjectival suffix -iu, the same ending seen in argintiu (silvery) or auriu (golden). Mijloc itself descends from Latin medius (middle) combined with locus (place). The word has stayed close to its root sense for over a thousand years: something standing in the middle, hence average or medium.
