The term is a compound formed from the Old English root 'mid' (meaning middle or central) combined with 'range', which entered Middle English via Old French 'rang' and the Frankish root for a row or line. It evolved during the mid-20th century to describe products, prices, or performance metrics occupying the middle tier between low-end and high-end categories.
