Definition
The state of being extremely, exceptionally, or supremely mediocre or average in quality.
Etymology
From 'arch-' (chief, supreme) + 'mediocrity' (state of being average). 'Mediocrity' comes from Latin 'mediocris' meaning 'of middle height' or 'middling.'
Kelly Says
This word is intentionally contradictory and darkly funny—it uses 'arch-' which usually means 'supreme' or 'ultimate,' but applies it to 'mediocrity,' which means ordinary. It's the same irony as calling something 'spectacularly boring'—the contrast makes it memorable!
