The word was first used (or created) in 1827 to describe the era A.D. 500 to about 1500 which is "in the middle" of the prior era: "the fall of the Roman Empire" and the after era: "the Renaissance". Its Latin roots are medium "middle" + æv(um) "age".

"From New Latin medium aevum, the middle age : Latin, neuter of medius, middle; see medhyo- in Indo-European Roots + Latin aevum, age; see aiw- in Indo-European Roots."
But it looks better here;

because Yahoo! Answers doesn't do italics, or small, fancy, lettering!
