medium

The most common meaning of the word medium is an average or mean in a range of sizes or conditions. Usually, the term is used when there are only a few different sizes in the range, rather than many. For example, items such as drinks at a fast food restaurant might come in three sizes: Small, Medium, and Large.

The word medium comes directly from Latin, in which it means, "the one in the middle."

The plural, "mediums" is sometimes used. The plural, "media" is not to be confused with the technical term, "media", which pluralizes to "mediae".

Interestingly, the peculiarities of the English language and its use of the same word for different meanings allow English speakers to make such statements as, "Small medium at large!" that are both comprehensible and mildly amusing.
