Morphology
mediate = middle (semi-transparent) = medi + ate
The adjectival sense 'acting through an intervening agent' is conceptually linked to 'middle', though the Latinate form and suffix may obscure the relation for learners.
Etymology
Mediate comes from the Latin medius 'middle'. As an adjective, it describes something that works by a middle step or agent rather than directly, so a mediate effect happens through a link or process.
