Each term represents the midpoint of an interval (x,y), where x (A260086) and y (A260087) form a pair of amicable numbers (A259933). The length and radius of each interval can be found in A275469 and A275470, respectively.
This sequence is monotonic (specifically, nondecreasing), since x+y (A259953) is nondecreasing. For a nonmonotonic ordering of these averages, see A275315.
It is unknown if there exists an amicable pair where x and y have opposite parity (one is even and the other is odd). If such a pair is ever found, then the compound adjective "same-parity" will need to be added to the name of this sequence.
