mid-September = September (transparent) = mid + September
The meaning is directly the middle of the month: 'mid' + 'September' is a straightforward temporal modifier.
Etymology
Mid-September is made from the prefix mid- meaning 'middle' and the month name September, the same mid- you see in midday or midnight. So it simply means 'the middle of September', usually around the 13th to 17th of the month.
