intermediation

/eɪʃən/ noun

An act of coming between; an intervention.

Word Origin From Latin inter 'between' and medius 'middle' — intermediation is literally 'going between the middle,' acting as a go-between. The root medius gives us medieval (the Middle Ages), mediocre (stuck in the middle, not great), and immediate (with no middle, direct). So intermediation is the process of inserting a middleman.
