medianos

Medianos is the masculine plural form of the Spanish adjective mediano, meaning middle, intermediate, or of average size or level. The term derives from Latin medianus and is used in various contexts to describe position, size, or degree. As an adjective, mediano agrees with masculine plural nouns, as in coches medianos (medium-sized cars), edificios medianos (mid-sized buildings), or salarios medianos (average salaries). The feminine forms are mediana (singular) and medianas (plural).

In statistics, the related noun mediana denotes the middle value of a data set when ordered from smallest to largest; the plural is medianas. This is distinct from the adjective mediano, which remains a descriptor of size or level and is not a statistical term.

In culture and language, Medianos can appear as a proper noun, used as a surname or as a place name in certain regions. When capitalized, it refers to a specific entity rather than the general adjective. See also mediana, the statistical term, and medianidad as a related linguistic concept.

Overall, medianos functions primarily as a grammatical plural for adjectives describing mid-range qualities, while its related forms mediana and medianas handle the corresponding feminine and plural statistical sense.
