Root Explanation
Midland → It is formed from "mid" (from Old English "mid", meaning middle) and "land" (from Old English "land", meaning ground or territory). The word "midland" refers to a region that is situated in the middle of a larger area, particularly in relation to land or territory.
Memory Tip
Think of 'mid' meaning middle and 'land' meaning territory — so midland refers to a territory that is in the middle.
