A direct compound of 'mid' (middle) + 'range' (extent), so the meaning 'middle range' is straightforward for learners.

Etymology

Midrange comes from the parts mid 'middle' and range 'area' or 'distance', just like in midnight. So midrange as an adjective means something that sits in the middle between high and low.
