midway

An event or location that's halfway between two other points is called the midway.

When we talk about the midway, we usually think of a fair or festival setting. Imagine going to an amusement park and seeing all sorts of rides and games, but not being at the very entrance or exit. That's the midway! It's often a central area where people gather to eat food, play games, and enjoy themselves. In sports, like basketball or tennis, the midway might refer to the middle section of the court or field. This word helps us describe a spot that's equidistant from two other important points.
