median

Signification (Anglais)

Noun

1. (archaic) A central vein or nerve, especially the median vein or median nerve running through the forearm and arm.
2. A line segment joining the vertex of triangle to the midpoint of the opposing side.
3. A number separating the higher half from the lower half of a data sample, population, or probability distribution. The median of a finite list of numbers can be found by arranging all the observations from lowest value to highest value and picking the middle one (e.g., the median of {3, 3, 5, 9, 11} is 5). If there is an even number of observations, then there is no single middle value; the median is then usually defined to be the mean of the two middle values.
4. (US) The area separating two lanes of opposite-direction traffic.

Adj

1. (not-comparable) Situated in a middle, central, or intermediate part, section, or range of (something).
2. (not-comparable) In the middle of an organ, structure etc.; towards the median plane of an organ or limb.

Étymologie (Anglais)

Appartenant à ancien anglais: midde

In summary

Borrowed from Middle French median, from Latin mediānus (“of or pertaining to the middle”, adjective), from medius (“middle”) (see medium), from Proto-Indo-European *médʰyos (“middle”). Doublet of mean and mizzen. Cognate with Old English midde, middel (“middle”). More at middle.
