midpoint
Exactly between endpoints
Midpoint is the point exactly halfway between two ends or extremes.
In geometry, the midpoint of a line segment lies equidistant from both endpoints.
The term extends to time and processes: We're past the midpoint of the project.
A midpoint can also be a compromise position between opposing views.
