<human>:  I have a question about the book Children in the Middle Ages. Where did the word “middle” come from?
<bot>: The word “middle” comes from the Latin word “medius” which means “half”. In the Middle Ages, the middle ages were the period between the fall of the Roman Empire and the Renaissance. The Middle Ages were a time of great change and upheaval, and the word “middle” was used to describe the period between the fall of the Roman Empire and the Renaissance.
