OriginLate Middle English: from Old French meridien, from Latin meridianum (neuter, used as a noun) 'noon', from medius 'middle' + dies 'day'. The use in astronomy is due to the fact that the sun crosses a meridian at noon. mediocre from late 16th century: Mediocre is from Latin mediocris used to mean ‘of middle height or degree’, but literally ‘somewhat rugged or mountainous’, from medius ‘middle’ and ocris ‘rugged mountain’. Medius also gives us medium (late 16th century) and intermediate (Late Middle English), while meridian (Late Middle English) goes back to Latin meridianum ‘noon’ from medius dies ‘middle of the day’.
