nonextreme
Not at edges
Nonextreme describes something moderate, avoiding extremes of any kind.
It applies to positions, measures, or conditions that fall within a middle range rather than at the outer edges: a nonextreme political stance, nonextreme weather conditions.
The word often appears in technical or academic contexts where distinguishing moderate cases from outliers matters.
