mid
Neither end nor beginning
Mid means in the middle of, typically modifying time periods or ranges: mid-January, mid-career, mid-century modern furniture.
It usually appears hyphenated before a noun.
Mid can also stand alone in informal speech to mean mediocre or unremarkable: The movie was mid—neither good nor bad, just average.
This newer slang sense, popular among younger speakers, dismisses something as thoroughly unimpressive.
