Morphology

midmost = mid (transparent) = mid + most

The adverbial sense is a straightforward extension of 'mid' + '-most' meaning 'at the very center', so knowledge of the base yields the adverbial meaning.

Etymology

Midmost is formed from mid- 'middle' and -most 'most', like in midday or topmost, and is used to say something is right in the centre. So as an adverb midmost means 'in the very middle' or 'at the centre' of something.
