Origin: A word inherited from Germanic.
Etymology: < the Germanic base of Middle Dutch midden- middle (Dutch midden- ), Middle Low German midden- (only in compounds), Gothic midjun- (only in the exactly parallel compound midjungards ) (all apparently < the Germanic base of Old High German mittamo : see midmost adj.) + the Germanic base of yard n.1; compare Old High German mittigart , Old Icelandic miðgarðr Midgard n., each apparently independently re-formed after reflexes of the Germanic base of mid adj.; and compare also the rare Old High German mittingart , probably re-formed after the Old English word. Compare later middle-erd n.The second element of the β. forms has probably been influenced by erd n.
Obsolete.
The world; the earth as a middle region between heaven and hell; (also) the inhabitants or things of the world, esp. as opposed to those of heaven; worldly things as opposed to divine or spiritual things. Cf. middle-erd n.
