- واژهنامه · French & English to Persian Epistemological Dictionary médiatique|media dér. sav. du lat. medius «qui est au milieu, central». Etymology: Today's word is the neuter of the Latin word for "middle" and "half" snitched wholesale from Latin (hence the Latin plural). The diminutive of this word, medalia "little halves," referred to half denarius pieces (the basic Roman coin), apparently used in the first "medals." "Medium" made its way to Italian as "mezzo," as in mezzo-soprano "half a soprano" (in voice only, of course.) The Greek word from the same root is "meso" as in the era of the dinosaurs, the Mesozoic. Yes, it is the same root in English "middle" plus an old suffix, -le, which has had many functions: diminutive (as a puddle is a small pool), instrumental (as a spindle is an instrument for spinning), and others. ras-âna
