The prefix 'meso-' means in the middle, or intermediate. The prefix of English usage traces back, by way of Latin, to its origins in the Greek word 'mesos'. The prefix is a familiar one to those who research the lands and peoples of the Caribbean, and of Central and South America. For its combination with the proper noun America forms an alternate designation, as Meso-America, to the countries of Central America. And the seven countries between Colombia to the south, the island nations of the Caribbean to the east, and Mexico to the north are indeed in the middle. For they share the plucky, thin intermediate corridor of land between the bulked masses of the North and South American continents.
