The term "medium-high" is a compound adjective formed by combining "medium" (from Latin medius, meaning "middle") and "high" (from Old English hēah, meaning "tall" or "elevated"). It logically describes something that falls between medium and high in quality, intensity, or pitch. This construction follows English's pattern of creating descriptive compounds by joining two existing words with a hyphen.
