Origins
Likely calqued on/adapted from French médiolatinité (“Medieval Latin”), Italian mediolatino (“Medieval Latin”, adj. and subst.) or another Romance language, and is more in line with Greek than with Latin word-formation models. Analyzable as Mediolatīnus (“of or pertaining to Mediaeval Latin”) + -tās (“-ity”) or medius (“middle”) + -o- + Latīnitās (“Latinity”).
