Etymology
The term comes from the word middle, as in middleground or in the middle, describing how those who identify with it feel in between being aromantic/asexual and alloromantic/allosexual. It's the suffix used for the three identities under its umbrella.

Flags
The flags are all amalgations of the Aroace flag by Aroaesflags​, the three flags created by tumblr user Star-Allos and posted alongside the term on.

In place of the orange (community and union) and yellow (forms of love outside of sex and romance) are shades of green for Aromantism on the Aromid flag, shades of purple for Asexuality in the Acemid flag, and shades of grey for those inbetween the lack and presence of attraction (Greysexual, Greyromantic) on the Amid flag. They come in multiple shades to represent community and diversity. As the blues represent a combination of Asexuality and Aromantism, those remain present in the mid flags, as does the white stripe for unity.
