Etymology
The word 'mediated' stems from the Latin root 'mediāre,' which means to be in the middle or intervene. This evolved into the Middle French 'médier' during the 15th century, emphasizing the act of negotiation or facilitation. In English, it has been used since the early 19th century to describe roles that involve mediating between conflicting parties. Over time, the term expanded in use, particularly in fields such as psychology, law, and communication, to encompass a variety of processes wherein an intermediary steps in to assist or facilitate interactions. Today, 'mediated' is frequently applied in modern contexts, including digital communication, where it describes how messages are conveyed through various media channels.
