μέσου
mésos
midst
in the middle, central or intermediate in position; with extension, that which occupies a position between two points or places. It may refer both to spatial relationships ('in the midst of,' 'between') and, by extension, to temporal or figurative centrality ('midday,' 'the central part' of something, or a group among which someone moves or acts). Context determines if it functions adjectivally ('middle, central'), as a substantive ('the midst'), or idiomatically ('among, between').
