Where this word comes from

Substantiviation of mediālia (with loss of the first /j/ via dissimilation), neuter plural of Late Latin mediālis (“middle”, adjective), from Classical Latin medius + -ālis. Attested in a ninth-century gloss, with the sense of 'half a denarius', the predominant meaning in Romance. Non-numismatic senses remain, however, in Sardinian and regional Catalan, Spanish, and Portuguese.
