mediastinen.2

Forms: 1600s mediastine, 1700s mediastin.
Origin: A borrowing from Latin. Etymon: Latin mediastīnus.
Etymology: < classical Latin mediastīnus (also mediastrīnus) servant employed on general duties, of uncertain origin. Compare Middle French, French médiastin (1551).The first element of classical Latin mediastīnus is probably medius , as several ancient writers believed, although they do not agree as to why it should be so. The spelling in -r- appears to be the earlier. Although no persuasive explanation of the second element can be offered, the theory (first attested in Priscian, 5th–6th cent.) that the word is derived < classical Latin medius + stāre to stand, stay (or tenēre to hold, stay), even if untrue, may well have influenced the development of the post-classical adjectival use of mediastinus meaning ‘in the middle, medial’ (6th cent.); compare mediastine n.1, mediastinum n.
Obsolete. rare.
A (kitchen) servant; a menial (in quot. 1716 used attributive).
