median noun

  /ˈmi.di.ən/ , /ˈmiː.dɪən/ , [ˈmɪi.di.ən]
  • (statistics) A number separating the higher half from the lower half of a data sample, population, or probability distribution. The median of a finite list of numbers can be found by arranging all the observations from lowest value to highest value and picking the middle one (e.g., the median of {3, 3, 5, 9, 11} is 5). If there is an even number of observations, then there is no single middle value; the median is then usually defined to be the mean of the two middle values. [from 19th c.]
 mediana
  • (anatomy, now, _, rare) A central vein or nerve, especially the median vein or median nerve running through the forearm and arm. [from 15th c.]
