Etimología (Inglés)

From Middle High German mittel alter (“middle age [of life]”), at least since the 16th century also univerbated. By surface analysis, mittel- (“mid, middle”) + Alter (“age”). The historic sense dates from the 18th century and is a calque of New Latin medium aevum, from the idea that it was the interim between Antiquity and Modernity.
