Origin of Middle-earth

  • From Middle English myddyl erthe, alteration (as if middel (“middle”) + erthe (“earth”)) of earlier middelerd, middenerd (“middle-earth”), from Old English middanġeard (“the globe, world, earth, mankind”, literally “middle yard, middle inclosure, middle region”) (compare mid, yard), though often interpreted since Old English times as “middle + earth”. Cognate with Icelandic miðgarðr (“Midgard”), Gothic (midjungards, “mid-yard, middle abode”). See Midgard.
