Etymology[edit]

Related to dialectal mēdžias (forest, woods), from Proto-Balto-Slavic *medjas (genitive *meža, also yielding *meža-s by analogy), from Proto-Indo-European *médʰyos (middle; in-between). For a parallel semantic connection between "trees" and "interiors", compare the relation between Old Norse viðr (tree, wood) and Old Irish fid (id) as opposed to Lithuanian vidùs (interior), the latter three all from Proto-Indo-European *h₁weydʰh₁- (to separate, divide).[1]
