Morphology

mediated = mediate (transparent) = mediate + ed

Regular past-participle/adjectival formation from the verb 'mediate'; the meaning 'brought about through an intermediary' follows directly from the base verb.

Etymology

Mediated comes from the Latin word medius, which means 'middle'. Think of a person or thing standing in the middle to help two sides agree, so a mediated decision is made 'through' that middle person or process rather than directly.
