From Proto-Germanic *midjaz dagaz. Equivalent to mid- + dæġ.

Usage notes[edit]
- In cases other than the strong nominative singular, the prefix usually becomes the adjective midd and is inflected: oþ midne dæġ (“until noon”). Midniht (“midnight”), midsumor (“midsummer”), and midwinter (“midwinter”) work the same way.
