Nguồn gốc từ

Borrowed from Middle French moytié, from Old French meitié (half) (modern moitié half), from medietās (centre, midpoint; half), from Latin medius (half; middle) + -tās (from Proto-Indo-European *-teh₂ts). Medius is ultimately derived from Proto-Indo-European *médʰyos (middle), possibly from *me-dʰi- (among; with), from *me (in the middle of; among; with). The word is a mediety.
