Definitions

  1. the syllable naming the third (mediant) note of any major scale in solmization

Word origin

From Glover's solmization, from Middle English mi (“third degree or note of Guido of Arezzo's hexachordal scales”), Italian mi in the solmization of Guido of Arezzo, from the first syllable of Latin mīra (“miracles; the miraculous”) in the lyrics of the scale-ascending hymn Ut queant laxis by Paulus Deacon.

Used in a sentence

  • MI excludes words that frequently combine with many words (e.g. the), but can overemphasize low frequency collocation.
