Etymology: Probably alteration of middenstead n., after street n. and adj.: see discussion below.With the first element of the compound, compare the early Scandinavian form of midden n. (see etymological note at that entry). The second element apparently shows substitution of street n. and adj. in the Middle English sense ‘village’ for stead n. in this sense; compare in the same section of the text cited in the quot. (headed Nomina Terrarum ‘names of places’):a1500 in T. Wright & R. P. Wülcker Anglo-Saxon & Old Eng. Vocab. (1884) I. 797/13 Hic vicus, a strete.
