Inherited fromSauraseni Prakrit𑀫𑀚𑁆𑀛𑁂(majjhe), fromSanskritमध्ये(mádhye), locative ofमध्य(mádhya,“middle”), fromProto-Indo-Iranian*mádʰyas, fromProto-Indo-European*médʰyos.
Some scholars have argued that the term is better derived from Sanskritमध्यम्(madhyam,accusative). However, Reinöhl argues that semantically the locative is a better semantic match and is also more frequent in all historical stages of Indo-Aryan. The spontaneous nasalization can be explained as a common phenomenon in New Indo-Aryan; compare Hindiसाँप(sā̃p,“snake”) from Sanskritसर्प(sarpa).[1]
