Definitions by Mindputty

The middle item in a group of three. The elegant, forgotten sibling of former and latter. Useful when referring to triads with the rhetorical flair of a Roman senator.
“The former was too harsh, the latter too soft — the medior was just right.”

“Between offense, defense, and diplomacy, the medior prevailed in the long run.”

“I went on three dates last week. The medior one brought a cat. We’re getting married.”
